Another great thing about working out first thing in the
morning is that your metabolism gets revved up after your
morning workout. Morning workouts keep your metabolism elevated
throughout the day. An elevated metabolism throughout the
day only means that you’ll burn more calories and
lose more weight. If you workout at night you may still
burn fat while you workout but as soon as you go to sleep
your metabolism will slow down and you’ll miss out
on all the extra fat that you can burn during the day if
you had exercised in the morning. When you sleep your metabolic
rate is always at its slowest.
Other reasons why its good to exercise first thing in
the morning is that you get the workout out of the way,
and working out in the morning will also reduce your level
of stress throughout the day.
Advanced Tip: Want to burn even more
fat? Add another workout to your daily routine 4-6 hours
after your morning workout. Keep your already high metabolism
higher by adding a 2nd workout during the day. If you're
seriously thinking about adding a 2nd workout to your daily
routine then try to do your cardio workouts in the morning.
Mostly fat calories are burned doing cardio at a moderate
intensities. Make your 2nd workout of the day a workout
with weights. Mostly carbohydrate is burned doing weight-training
workouts. The muscle that you build from weight training
will also help you burn fat. 1lb of Muscle burns 50 calories
a day or 1lb of fat every 70 days. Not only will you be
burning more calories, you’ll look better –
whatever your weight is.
2. Eat Breakfast
Another way to keep your metabolism revved up all day long
is to eat breakfast. After you workout in the morning as
discussed earlier, just have breakfast and you’ll
give your body the perfect 1-2 combination to jump start
your metabolism.
Eating breakfast in the morning is what gets your metabolism
started. Don’t skip breakfast and wait until mid-morning
or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower causing
you not burn any extra fat.
Think about this way-Your metabolism is a fireplace that’ll
burn fat all day long for you if you operate it correctly.
When you eat breakfast you are basically throwing a log
onto that fireplace to get it started burning fat.
Eating breakfast will help stop those cravings you may
have later on in the day and along with working out in the
morning, eating breakfast will also keep you energized throughout
the day and lower stress levels.
Advanced Tip: Instead of eating only
2 more meals during the day like lunch & dinner, try
to eat 4-5 more small mini-meals spaced 2-3 hours apart
during the day. Remember the fireplace? By eating these
mini-meals you'll be throwing just the right amount of "wood"
on the fireplace to keep your metabolism burning calories
throughout the day. Don't shut down your metabolism by eating
big lunches or dinners, keep that metabolism of yours burning
fat all day long.
