Up early to exercise
So this research study fascinates me. It basically says that if one exercises before one eats, the body burns more calories. So this morning at 4 am when I was having my typical brush with insomnia, I thought "lets get up and try it". So I did weights, pilates, a little stretching - hope it helps. I do not think it would be wise to go hiking before breakfast here - there are mountain lions you know.

This is so inspiring, ensures that I will not miss exercise today!
ReplyDeleteWell you're so fit, I am sure you could take a day off. My porky little body, however, needs all the help it can get!
DeleteUhm, unfortunately I have lost 80% of the fitness gains I made. But I'm still hopeful...
Deletesigh - it is such a challenge
DeleteIve seen this research go both ways - some say more before and some say more after. I like to exercise first thing in the morning and then walk after dinner to cover both.
ReplyDeleteSuper plan! I would say exercise when you can fit it in. But since I often can't sleep in the wee hours, getting up to exercise seems like a good use of time.
DeleteAll I hear about is the miracle of Interval training. Which it sounds like you're doing Jackie.
