As a result, you’ll wake up with lower carb levels and lower blood sugar levels which

is the optimum environment for burning fat instead of carbs.

How does this work? It’s actually quite simple. Carbohydrates are your body’s
primary and preferred energy source. When this source is in short supply, your body

must tap into its secondary energy resource: body fat.

If you do your exercise workout after eating, the body will burn off the carbohydrates
you’ve consumed first. It’ll take a little longer to get to that fat you need to burn.

A second benefit to doing exercise in the morning is called the “afterburn” effect.

You’ll not only be burning fat during your workout, but that fat burn will continue on
even after your workout is finished. How?

An intense session of cardio can keep your metabolism elevated for hours

afterwards. Exercising at night won’t give you that extra metabolic lift because once
you go to sleep, your metabolism drops dramatically once you become sedentary.

When you sleep, your metabolic rate is slower than at any other time of the day.

The third reason for doing early morning exercise is more emotional than anything
else. Your body’s endorphins are elevated when you exercise. It lifts your mood and

gives you a sense of accomplishment that will likely stay with you all during the day.

That being said, exercise is something that many consider a tedious chore. We tend
to procrastinate and put off doing something we consider to be less than enjoyable.

If you commit yourself to morning workouts, you’ll have “gotten it out of the way”
freeing your mind from having to do it later. This can create guilt and stress and
affect your whole day – don’t let it! Plus, you are more likely to blow off exercising

later in the day because you are tired or just don’t feel like it.

You might find it difficult to get up and exercise first thing in the morning. Not

everyone is a “morning person”. So how do you motivate yourself to get up and get
moving?

First, remember that you are trying to lose weight. You have a goal that you are

trying to achieve. That should remain in the forefront of your mind. If you stay
focused on your goal, the motivation should come.
