Getting used to, but nice to do:exercise in the morning

Exercising in the morning is great once you get used to it, but to build it up you need some discipline. We have tips!

Research

A study has been done in which people took a walk before or after breakfast, or did not move at all. It turned out that you burn more fats during a walk before breakfast. According to the researcher, this is because your body then has to use the stored fat.

If you keep this in mind, you already have a small stick to work out before breakfast. With these tips you can build up your exercise in the morning.

• Not everyone likes to exercise without breakfast. And whether working out before breakfast is good or bad, there are also long discussions about that. Therefore, do what your body needs, even if that is an extensive breakfast.
• You don't necessarily have to go to the gym or go for a run. Take the bike to your appointment.
• Got out of bed on the wrong leg? React to exercise and then start the day fresh.
• Pack your sports bag in the evening and make an appointment with a friend to exercise together. No way you're going to get out.
• There is less chance that at the end of the working day you will collapse on the couch tired and not start exercising. So go early in the morning. With the prospect of an evening relaxing.

Small comment from-the-researcher

Don't feel like working out without breakfast? That's not a disaster. If you walk briskly for an hour every day for ten days before breakfast, you will lose about a pound. If you normally don't move at all, you will notice the greatest effect.
