Learn to Love A.M. Exercise

There are some very good benefits to learning to love exercise in the morning. Here are the top 10 reasons for getting up with the early birds to get moving:

1. Exercising early in the morning "jump starts" your metabolism, keeping it elevated for hours, sometimes for up to 24 hours! As a result you'll burning more calories all day long.
2. It energizes you for the day.
3. Studies have shown that exercise significantly increases mental acuity, a benefit that last four to ten hours after your workout ends.
4. It shouldn't be a major problem to get up 30 to 60 minutes earlier, especially to exercise. Exercise allows you to get higher quality of sleep, which in turn means you'll probably require less sleep.
5. If you get up at the same time or about the same time every morning, you're regulating your body's endocrine system. Which means it will get easier for you to get up at that time every morning.
6. Many people find that morning exercise has a tendency to regulate their appetite for the rest of the day.
7. Some people find that they start looking forward to that time everyday.
8. Exercising first thing in the morning is the most foolproof way to ensure that other things don't overtake your fitness commitment, particularly if you have a hectic family life.
9. More than 90% of those who exercise consistently have a morning fitness routing.
10. Non-morning people can always trick themselves in the a.m. Tell yourself that you'll still be so fast asleep that you won't even remember- much less mind!
