Not sure when is the best time to work out? Here’s a little secret: Do it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
Research has shown that you’ll burn more calories if you perform cardio before breakfast than if you eat first, according to a study at Kansas State University.
Another study confirmed this and found that fat loss increased only when the study participants exercised in a fasted state. Why? Because your body fasts at night when you are sleeping, and your metabolism naturally slows down because your body needs less energy.
Exercising first thing in the morning will rev your metabolism. So tomorrow morning, throw off the covers, lace up your sneakers and take an energy-boosting power walk!
