• More than 90 percent of people, who exercise consistently, exercise in the morning.

  • When you exercise early in the morning, you literally 'jump start' your metabolism and keep it elevated for hours, sometimes up to 24 hours.

  • When you exercise in the morning you'll be energized for the day.

  • Many people find that morning exercise 'regulates' their appetite for the day — that they aren't as hungry and that they make better food choices.
  • If you exercise at the same time every morning and ideally wake-up at about the same time on a regular basis, your body's endocrine system and circadian rhythms adjust to that.
  • For many people, that appointed time every morning becomes something they look forward to.

  • Research has demonstrated that exercise increases mental acuity.

  • Exercise first thing in the morning is really the only way to assure that something else won't crowd exercise out of your schedule.

  • If finding time to exercise is difficult, anyone can get up 30 to 60 minutes earlier to exercise (if it's a priority in your life).
