Did you work out this morning?

Exercising in the morning is best according to many exercise physiologists. Exercising in the morning elevates your metabolism and it keeps it elevated throughout the day and helps you to burn more calories. A morning workout can energize you and give you more of a boost to your day than any cup of coffee.

When you work out in the morning, you can regulate your appetite and skip the sugary breakfasts. Regular exercise every morning can have you waking up with a bounce to your step and you won’t be fighting drowsiness or fatigue upon opening your eyes in the morning.

Research has long supported the idea that people who work out in the morning and more likely to stick to their exercise programs. However, if you do workout in the morning, you should take about thirty minutes between waking and engaging in vigorous exercise in order to avoid impact damage to the discs in your back.

I have discovered, in my own personal experience, that if I haven’t done my workout by 12, I probably won’t. The best time for me to get my exercise in is first thing in the morning, by 8 a.m. – I’ve done my thirty to forty-five minute workout for the morning.

So, did you workout this morning?
