Important news on exercise....

There are two key reasons to exercise.
Done even close to right and often enough, exercise is so good for your health it’s like good magic!
People who exercise even close to right and often enough who want to lose fat, lose it more easily. They lose more fat. And, if they keep eating right and exercising they keep it all off.
So, what’s new?
1. Exercise is only effective at delivering these benefits if you do it. And, I just got some new information on how to make doing exercise dramatically more likely.
2. That same method increases the effectiveness of the exercise you do in helping you lose fat and keep it off.
3. This same method delivers a badly needed extra benefit very soon after you use it.
I found this information in Healthy Living, Tuesday, May 17, 2011 on Yahoo today. The article was titled: “Why Morning Exercise is Best” is by ThirdAge.com .
1. I’ve already posted that people who schedule their exercise first thing in the morning are far more likely to do it and keep doing it.
I once read that people who exercise in the morning are twice as likely to keep doing exercise as people who exercise later in the day.
The reason is simple. As each day unfolds, you have expected AND unexpected demands on you and your time. Sometimes you even get extra tired
When you exercise before all that happens, you have control; and it’s MUCH easier to do reliably and keep doing it.
I’ve experienced this myself.
My track record for exercising every morning is very close to 100%. It’s very unusual for me to have to leave too early to exercise. And, I very rarely get sick enough to not do at least a light and shorter session.
I also have a new and extra session on Monday and Wednesday evenings for just a few minutes. I’ve found I do those exercise sessions most of the time. But as much as a quarter of the time, I’m too tired or I get home too late or there is a special occasion that prevents it. If I was a new exerciser, I can readily see how I might get out of the habit if that was the only exercise I did.
But here’s the blockbuster news.: I may have underestimated the effect doing morning exercise has on doing it and continuing to exercise.
The article had this quote:
“In fact, more than 90% of those who exercise consistently have a morning fitness routine.”
So, if you want to go to the gym or an exercise class at lunch time or in the evening, by all means do so. That does work very well for some people.
But have some kind of short and complementary exercise session you do in the morning at home too. That gives you an anchor into staying fit and benefitted and doing exercise. Then, if you can’t do the exercise later some days, you won’t lose as much momentum until you can get back. And if you move or the gym closes or something else happens to that part of your exercise, you’re still OK. You still are exercising and getting the benefits almost every day.
(I’ve found it also helps to have several kinds of exercise you can do at home to make your morning exercise time efficient. There’s no added travel time. That also helps make it doable every day.)
2. The other major news is that morning exercise may be MORE effective at helping you lose excess fat!
Exercise often helps you lose fat not just from the calories you burn while you exercise but from the extra calories you burn after you stop
The article had this quote suggesting that morning exercise does this best.:
“Some exercise experts say that when you exercise in the morning you jump-start your metabolism….and….you burn more calories throughout the day….”
(If you do interval cardio and strength training when you exercise you also multiply this effect. Those exercises tend to produce more metabolism boost for several hours after you stop than less vigorous exercise. And, they tend to add to your muscle mass. Even a few new pounds of muscle burns more calories 24 hours a day than you were burning before.)
If exercising in the morning does add to these effects, that’s a powerful added reason to do it.
3. There’s a third reason to exercise that is important for most of us.
You are mentally sharper all day at work if you exercise in the morning.
The article had this quote: “Your brain power gets pumped up. Studies have shown that exercise significantly increases mental sharpness.”
So, if you exercise in the morning, you have this effect almost all day long. And you start your day having this effect already in place.
They didn’t add; but exercise also helps you deal better with stress and have stress be less hard on you.
That can really help some days at work! Exercising in the morning gives you that effect before your day starts.
(It also helps that exercise helps you stay mentally sharp when other people don’t as years pass. Exercise grows new brain cells and literally prevents your brain from shrinking. It keeps your brain working by boosting your circulation when you exercise. And exercise helps keep your blood circulation from being blocked off by plaque too.)
The article ends with this:
“You’ll sleep better. Even though you may have to wake up earlier to fit in thirty minutes of routine exercise you’ll sleep better that night, since exercise has been shown to help improve slumber. Plus, you’re regulating your body clock by awakening the same time each morning.”
This also works if you only exercise 10 or 15 minutes on some mornings. For example, I have one day where I only do 6 minutes of abdominal exercises. And, the two days I schedule to do 30 minutes, I have two parts of 15 minutes each. Then, on those two days, if I get behind, I only do the first 15 minute part.
That flexibility plus my at home workout in the morning makes exercising virtually 100 % reliable every day.
So, it was nice to know I’ve been getting all these extra benefits!

Thats a good news... but there are more ways to be fit easily.. I have described those in my blog here: www.bestdietarticle.info please visit and help me to modify it by giving your comments and advices.
Fast fat loss from doing many of the things that work slowly well and all at once is likely just fine.
Fast fat loss by cutting back extra on calories on a temporary basis tends to cause fat loss and weight loss. But your body's famine response this triggers almost always makes you extra hungry and you gain it all back!
