Benefits of a morning jog Jogging early in the morning to lose fat started during the fitness revolution in the 70s. Popular bodybuilders like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Frank Zane jogged daily to prepare for their competitions. This is still a healthy, safe and most importantly effective way to lose those unwanted pounds. Many people have lost confidence in morning endurance workouts because they expect results without hard work. While there are other methods and pills that help with fat loss, nothing is as effective as regular morning jogging combined with a proper diet. In this article, we will present the benefits of jogging in the morning. Some of you may already know them, but the author hopes you can learn a thing or two you haven't heard about.

Cool air + warm up the body Jogging in the morning can significantly boost a runner's metabolism. Due to the normally cold air before sunrise, the body needs to generate heat (and burn calories) to keep the temperature at a stable 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Combined with the muscles needing calories to move the entire body, this heat-generating adaptation of the body provides a doubling of caloric expenditure.

Metabolism Factor It's not so much the calories you burn during your morning jog, but rather the effects of increased metabolism throughout the day that helps you burn fat. Imagine a barbecue grill that is left alone after being lit. The smoldering embers of the charcoal continue to burn for quite a while until they are extinguished. This is the primary mechanism for fat loss during morning jogging. Aside from the physical factors, morning jogging also has psychological benefits. It may sound far-fetched, but studies have actually confirmed that a person's psychological state is highly influenced by their physical activities.

Psychological benefits A clear mind is one of the greatest benefits of an early morning jogger. For those who are used to it, skipping a workout session can make them feel like their brain is not functioning. Those who don't jog regularly in the morning are surprised at how clear their thinking becomes when they start. A sense of accomplishment throughout the day is also a purely psychological benefit. This is especially true for men, who feel more and more comfortable the more they accomplish in a day. The feeling of accomplishing those 5 miles with one's own will and energy provides a positive and sometimes contagious mood that the runner carries with him throughout the day. The absence of people in the early morning hours, just before rush hour, gives the runner a sense that the world is much less crowded than it is. This leads to calm nerves during the day and smoother interactions with people at work. Wholesale Clothing Supplier in UK There are countless benefits to an early morning jog.
