5 Reasons to Exercise In the Morning

By Natalie Cappetta


No matter if you like to exercise for fun, maintain a healthy body or to lose weight, the time of day is essential. Morning activity is proven to create a healthier lifestyle. Even if 15 minutes is all you can manage, any movement is beneficial and immediately rewarding. Here are five reasons why the start of your day should begin with a run:

1. Consistency. According to research, 90% of individuals who maintain an exercise routine do it in the morning. You will start your day refreshed and ready for the next morning run!

2. A metabolism kick. Activity in the morning revs up your metabolism, which in turn burns calories for the remainder of the day! You may stop moving but those calories won't!

3. Energy. Instead of maintaining your energy by constantly consuming caffeinated beverages (which can be detrimental), create your own energy, naturally. Increasing your routine will leave you with a more vibrant self.

4. Mental and physical harmony. Your mental health stands equal with your physical health, and by addressing your body's needs you will improve both. Keeping active will clear your mind and restore some sanity back into your life. It is a moment that is yours in the midst of all the tumult.

5. Community. Having a social routine can better serve you in regards to maintenance. By participating with other like-minded individuals, you can share your successes, your lack of motivation, and a laugh, which is recommended.

There are only benefits from a morning run, so set the alarm a bit earlier than usual and get moving! Every Tuesday morning at 7:30AM The Gym Team is now running a free weekly outdoor fitness class in Portman Square. It lasts for 45 minutes and is suitable for all fitness levels-and it's fun!

Meet at the Gym Reception and you won't regret it!
