Can Exercising in the Morning make you Burn Fat?
If you want a simple shortcut to making sure you burn fat, start your workout first thing in the morning. This advice is extremely common, and is often the most common advice most of us hear. We are told by friends, family and experts to do our exercising first thing in the morning. While many people think it works because you've spent the entire night without food, that's not the reason it works so well, but if you do fat burning exercises first thing in the morning, you will be guaranteed to burn more fat.
If working out first thing in the morning isn't scientifically proven to burn more fat, then how can it help fat loss? Simple, it guarantees you won't procrastinate. If you make sure that each day you workout, you do it first thing in the morning and make it your #1 priority to finish that workout, then you can guarantee it will get done. You won't be over tired from the day and you won't be dreading it all day. You can just get up and get it done. It helps you form a habit of working out rather than procrastinating.
I know you must be thinking, "Workout in the morning, I'm not a morning person, that makes it that much harder." Truth be told, I'm not a morning person either, but I can still grab a quick workout first thing if I want. My scheduled workouts are almost always done around 11 am because that's when they fit into my schedule, but it's not that uncommon for me to wake up a little early just to do one of my 4 Minute Slim workouts just to get started right. If it only took you 4 minutes, I'm sure you could handle that before your morning shower.
There are plenty of books, magazines and seminar speakers that say the best way to get the most important thing on your list done is to do it first. Doing so will make sure it gets done and isn't pushed aside. Wouldn't you say that your health is probably much more important than most of the things on your to do list? Author Brian Tracy says that the thing we fear most or want to avoid most is the very thing we should do first. If we do the hardest thing first, our day is much easier by comparison. Can you see how getting your exercise done right away will free your mind and energize your body to have a better day?
If you can fit a workout into your schedule later in the day and that is a better fit for your life, then you need to have what I call a No Excuse Hour. This doesn't have to be an hour, it should just be however long a workout takes. With the 20/20/20 Diet, my workouts only take 15-20 minutes. During No Excuse Time, you need to go to the gym NO MATTER WHAT! You can't say "I'm too tired," or "I'm too busy today," and you should never say "I'll do it tomorrow!" These are all just excuses. Just get your workout done with and you won't have to waste energy thinking of excuses, you can just relax for the rest of the day.
Exercising first thing is not the only thing you can do to get your fat loss started right. You can also start out with a healthy fat loss breakfast. After all, if you chow down a greasy Egg McMuffin in your car on the way to work, you probably aren't going to be bubbling with energy and ready to take on the day. So you need to eat something healthy that will get you feeling full of life.
There are many easy and simple ways to start your day off right nutritionally. You can make a super shake, have an egg white omelet with spinach and black beans, or even grab some fresh fruit and a protein shake. Any of these things would be a vast improvement over what most of us call a breakfast.
If you don't like eating breakfast, and you never have, so why start now, I have only this advice...it's time to start. Breakfast is the meal that tells your body it's time to start up, get the metabolism cranking and start burning fat. Most people who don't eat breakfast find that they are hungrier early in the day when they finally do eat breakfast.
It's really up to you. Are you going to take action and start changing your body tomorrow morning? Are you going to eat a healthy super breakfast? Or are you going to hit a drive through or wolf down a bowl of sugar cereal like the rest of the fat unhappy people out there? The choice is yours. Start your day off right and you will notice immediate changes in the way you look and feel. - 17269
