The first thing to do in the morning may be good for your physical and mental health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, previous studies have shown that early morning may be the best time to exercise.
The study, published in the journal Obesity, recorded the activity levels of 5,285 participants, taking into account the duration of their exercise.
Research shows that afternoon naps can have a surprising impact on lifespan.
Those who always engage in morning activities between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. have a lower risk of obesity than those who are most active at noon or at night.
The average BMI (BMI) and waist size were also lower in the morning exercisers.

Alissa Mosca, a certified fitness coach with Planet Fitness in New York, agrees that morning exercise is a “good way to start the day.
“When the day starts with a morning exercise as an example, the body releases a variety of different chemicals, which helps our overall function,” she told Fox News Digital Digital.

“This includes chemicals like endorphins and dopamine, which are chemicals that make us feel good and help us move forward with positive energy. In addition, we wake up muscles, stimulate the brain and prepare to receive them throughout the day.”
Balance of sleep exercise
Todd Anderson, sleep and health expert at the co-founder of Dream Performance & Recovery in Nashville, Tennessee, highlights the importance of achieving a healthy balance between exercise and rest.
22 Anderson said the first few hours of the week were “crazy influence” and it wasn't necessarily a tough activity.

“Our body is about to move,” he said. “Taking two hours of exercise or exercise in a week should be high on the priority list.”
While it seems that morning exercise is reducing sleep time, Anderson notes that regular exercise may actually lead to higher quality of sleep.
“The sleep you get is more impactful,” he said.
“Taking two hours of exercise or exercise in a week should be high on the priority list.”
But for those who go to the gym every day and don’t have enough Shuteye, Anderson said he thinks it’s “no painstaking” and choose to have enough sleep, rather than morning exercise.
“When it comes to body composition and weight loss or fitness in general, you may get better results from that hour of sleep when you are already at a pretty good level of activity,” he said.
“When you sleep, it enables you to respond effectively to the stress of your exercise.”

Mosca agrees that proper rest and recovery requires seven to eight hours of sleep, which maximizes muscle repair and growth.
“If someone goes to bed from 12 a.m. to 1 a.m. and then tries to wake up for a six a.m. exercise, then progress will stagnate and the impact of the hard work put in will take longer to reveal,” she told Fox News Digital Digital.

“Relax earlier, putting down electronics and focusing on calming down on a regular sleep schedule will allow someone to recover faster, have more energy in the morning, and release those happy brain chemicals that make us feel fulfilled.”

The trainer stressed that morning exercises are not for everyone and that some factors can prevent success.
For those considering exercise in the morning, Mosca advises them to ask themselves the following questions.
“Did I have enough sleep the night before?”

“How is my nutritional intake?”
“Am I over-pressed?”
“Will I keep calling Sno when the alarm clock rings?”

“If we find the answer to these questions [aren’t] On the positive side, consider a small afternoon exercise: after get off work or 15 to 20 minutes after rest to move and stimulate muscles. ” Mosca suggested.
“The more the body moves, and the more it is in a consistent routine. It is crucial to take the right steps to change the routine, so we don't overload at a time.”

Mosca reiterates that sleep and recovery play a “critical role” in the success of fitness journeys.
“If we shorten the time frame for our body recovery, they will keep trying to catch up, but never reach that finish line,” she said. “We want to set clear goals and reasonable expectations.”
