The Best Time to Exercise

If this is the only time you have or think is the best time to do the fast weight loss exercises in the morning is a routine for many people. However, depending on your fitness goals, this may or may not be optimal.

At night, your body experiences a fast, no food or water. When you wake up, your body becomes dehydrated and your blood sugar level in blood is very low. The exercise in this condition is exacerbated by muscle weakness and even cause loss of muscle mass. The consumption of sugary foods to raise your blood sugar level will only cause a “sugar crash” that falls even lower and results in weakness. So every morning are not the best time to do strength training.

However, if your goal is to burn fat, then the mornings are the perfect time to do it. Low blood sugar result in lower insulin levels. This stimulates a greater release of growth hormones. Growth hormones promote fat loss. Therefore, the exercise in the morning can result in more fat is burned.

However, their formation must be carefully managed to burn fat while preserving muscle. Here are some guidelines to do just that:

Choose the resistance and aerobic exercise, exercise to lose belly fat , and resistance training weight. Strength training requires muscle strength to be effective, weight training, while puts stress on muscles when they are not ready. Resistance and aerobic exercise to go easy on the muscles, maintaining a sufficiently high intensity to increase the release of growth hormone.

 Exercise immediately after waking up before the trend of increased muscle degradation. The more time spent with low blood sugar levels increased the release of cortisol and high levels of cortisol promotes muscle breakdown and fat storage.

 Drink plenty of water before exercise to combat dehydration and helps preserve muscle.

 Limit your exercise to a maximum of 45 minutes. The ideal is 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like walking on an inclined treadmill or bicycle light, and from 15 to 20 minutes of high intensity exercise, like running or cycling, and HIIT (high intensity interval training). The exercise longer and with greater intensity, to lower the blood sugar in the blood drop, increasing its production of cortisol.

 Thus, depending on what you want to achieve, tomorrow may be the best or the worst time for exercise. That said, if you do it the right way, all you lose is fat.
