•Early morning exercise starts up your metabolism and keeps it elevated for hours, possibly even up to 24 hours. This means you'll be burning MORE calories all day!
•A.M. exercise also helps you sleep better at night and helps you get higher quality sleep, which means you'll probably end up needing LESS sleep!
•Activity triggers the release of endorphins, which also happens decrease appetite. That means that morning workouts can help you with appetite and portion control throughout the day!
•If you make morning exercise part of your routine, your body will become accustomed to waking up around the same time each morning and regulate its circadian rhythms. When you regulate sleep and workout schedules, the body won't be confused by different wake-up times, and waking up will become easier. Also, with a morning workout routine, your metabolism begins to heighten even before you wake up, making you feel more energized and ready right from the moment you open your eyes.
If you're not already in the habit of working out, just don't even think about it. Do what Nike says and "Just do it."
