Is it better to work out in the mornings or before you go to bed? I've read
different things. Also I had read different things about whether you should work
out before you and after you eat. I know Alex said to do so before, and I'm not
arguing about that. I would just like to know what the difference is?
Anytime is a good time to work out, the main question is "when is the best
time to work out when you want to
burn off unwanted body fat?"
And here is the answer: The ultimate time for burning off unwanted body fat is
right after waking up! Get up, drink one small cup of strong coffee or tea,
without sugar and then go for a 30-45 minute fast walk.
If this isn't possible, then the next best time to burn off unwanted body fat is
3 hours after eating a meal, if it was small or average of course, and then
when finished to eat the next meal.
To lose the last 60 pounds of the 110 pounds that I lost 16 years ago, I
walked in the morning before breakfast for 45-60 minutes, and also right
before my last meal (5th) of the day also for 45-60 minutes.
Plus I always shifted back and forth between 45-60 minute sessions, and
also shifted my intensity, some days walking fast, and som days walking really
fast, as if I was really late to an appointment where I had to be 100%,
for example.
...Why is this effective? Because when you do cardio in the morning, or cardio
three hours after consuming a meal,
the majority of your calories that your
body has to burn off will come from your unwanted body fat.
...To lose unwanted body fat what is
important is to burn off the most
"total
calories" and not where these calories come from. Because even if the
majority of your calories come from glycogen (carbs in the body) and not
from the fat stored in the cells, your body still has to take the fat from the
cells and convert them to glycogen
to make up for the calorie deficit that
was created during the exercise.
...you might want to read that last paragraph again, because this is very,
very important and even the experts get this wrong.
...Because what it means is that you can lose
just as much unwanted body
fat with steady, medium intensity cardio, as you would doing HIIT (high
intensity interval training) as long as you did the steady, medium cardio
exercise for a long enough duration.
...So, for example if I would want to lose 100 pounds of unwanted body fat
today, knowing what I know, I would walk twice per day, for 90 minutes
per session, and would do this every day until I reached my ideal weight.
Of course you have to start slowly, once per day, 15 minutes per session,
and then build your way up, but the fact remains, walking is KING as long
as you make the time for it.
Why? Because it is SUPER EASY, and everyone can walk. You simply burn
off those calories, and your body can't do nothing about it, ha-ha, you
are in control, your organism has to burn off both glycogen (carbs) and
unwanted body fat in order to FUEL this activity !!!
...hope this helps!
very realistic.
