Is it best to exercise in the morning or the evening for effective fat loss? Vinny Lewis-Jamerson, studio manager at Ten Pilates gives us his verdict
what his verdict was on the best time of day to get moving. Is it an early morning run? A lunchtime strength session in the park? Or an evening boxing or yoga class via Zoom?
His verdict on the best time to exercise? Working out first thing in the morning is the most beneficial from a health perspective. Here's why: 'Our testosterone levels are up to 30% higher in the morning,' Vinnie explains. 'And with testosterone aiding the development of muscle growth and adaptation, it’s essential to hit exercise at the right time of day.'It also turns out that this is the case for both sexes: 'For men, the ability to increase muscle mass is increased, and for women, that testosterone is going to accelerate the adaptation of lean tone and muscle mass. Meaning you workout more effectively.
The results indicated that the group who worked out on an empty stomach burned double the amount of fat than the other group as their insulin levels were lower after having fasted overnight. This is because when you have less insulin in your blood, the body uses fat reserves to fuel exercise, meaning you burn more fat when training on an empty stomach.
So it looks like you might have to give up that lie-in and try waking up a little earlier to fit in your daily exercise. Your snooze button may not thank you, but your body most certainly will.
