To get a nice physique or to increase your body fitness you have to exercise and should maintain a balanced diet. When it comes to losing body fat and improving body fitness – a morning workout can give you amazing results.
What happens when you exercise in the morning
When you perform a morning workout these things happen:
Generally, the time gap in between your dinner and when you woke up at morning is 8 to 10 hours. If I assume within that time 7 hours you are sleeping and haven’t eaten any food. It means you were fasting for that period of time.
Now when you exercise after waking up it burns your stored calories. It also increases your metabolism and helps your body to burn fat FASTER. And you get the benefit of after-burn.
