I’ve had many people ask me when is the best time to exercise. The answer to that question is: first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Here’s why:
- Your insulin levels are lowest in the morning, which aids with fat burning
- Testosterone levels are highest at this time
- Your body has the best compliance
- Human Growth Hormone levels are increased
- A morning workout will turn on your metabolism
Time Magazine found that 65% of people who wished they exercised more didn’t do so because they didn’t think they had enough time. This cartoon, however, sums up the reality for all of us…..
Thanks for posting, I’ll definitely be subscribing to your blog.
Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
Earlier I thought differently, many thanks for the information.
For 2 months, I have been doing a 30 min workout 4 times a week plus 2 days of running one mile (15 min max). It has made a huge difference in my body. I feel amazing and have dropped two pants sizes! It doesn’t have to take 2 hours a day! 30 min 3 times a week would work wonders. I encourage you to give it a try!
I’ve found that it’s easier for me to do my 3 mile run in the evenings, and have ran my fastest times, if I get out in the mornings and jog a mile to a mile and a half. Maybe it gives my muscles a kick start? Running in the morning does make me feel better and more energetic all day though. : )
Love the whole concept of nutrition, exercise and adjustment…excited to find someone who seems to really care about the health of his patients. It’s a process learning to make substitutions in cooking, and reading labels in the store, but will be well worth it in the end. Thank you DR. AXE for caring!
