Here is one more reason why you should be a 'morning person' -- exercising first thing in the morning elevates your metabolism and helps you burn up to 20% more fat. A regular workout before eating anything in the morning has a better outcome for weight loss. As per a study undertaken by the University of Northumbria (Newcastle) in 2013, it was concluded that those who exercised or worked out in the morning did not consume any additional calories or over eat to make up for the workout during the day.
So ensure you have your alarm adjusted to a fixed time every day and don't be tempted to push it. You could begin with a brisk walk of 15-20 minutes or even set out cycling in your area, early in the morning. Have some workout music plugged into your ears to add to the mood while you are out jogging or in the gym.
