Did you know that exercising in the morning is better for your health, beauty, and diet? Recent studies have shown that those who exercise in the morning on a regular basis have better health and beauty benefits than those who exercise at different times of the day.  Why?  Because morning exercisers are more likely to stick to their exercise routine.

Exercising in the morning, like a good protein-rich breakfast, will sustain you throughout the day. I love the fact that working out in the morning actually brings you MORE energy to tackle whatever life may throw at you during the rest of your day. Morning exercise benefits not just your energy level, but your mental sharpness too.  Several research studies have shown that exercise increases mental sharpness for anywhere from 4 to 10 hours post exercise. 

Waiting until later in the day gives you more time to make excuses and abandon your workout plans. If you are tired after a long day of work or taking care of your family, it's just so much easier to blow off exercising altogether. Going out to dinner is always going to be more enticing than working out. 

According to WebMD - One study of overweight women between the ages of 50 to 75 showed that those who engaged in consistent morning exercise (about four hours a week) slept better than those who exercised less. The evening exercisers had more trouble falling asleep - even if they fit in the four hours a week.

Sleep deprivation increases the hormones that control appetite, so getting a good night's rest can help keep an even hormonal balance -- and make it easier to stick to a healthy diet. Morning exercise helps you sleep better – which equals a healthier life, and more beautiful skin. More sleep means a better temperament, a more rested body, and overall better appearance.

Do it for health, do it for better emotional stability, or do it for beauty – but do it! Exercising in the morning is ALL beneficial, and there are no drawbacks. Even if you are not a “morning person” - once you get going, you’ll gain the energy to finish.
