If you are wondering when is the best time to run to lose weight, then this article will help you.
Let’s see the different opinions first.
*Running in the morning to lose weight.
Running in the morning can kick start your metabolism, so you have a higher metabolism the whole day. Many people suggest you run early in the morning before breakfast. Because you are already in the fat burning mode. You haven’t eat, you have the least amount of stored carbs( in the form of glycogen ), so your body quickly go straight to your fat reserve for energy instead of new energy from eating food, then you burn more fat storage faster.
*Running at night to lose weight.
Your metabolism is high in the morning, and low in the evening. So, if you run at night, it help you get a faster metabolic rate the whole night, this means you burn more calories.
But some people complain that running at night make them have trouble falling asleep. Maybe because the metabolism is too high for sleep, exercising wake up their body.
In fact, you finally will find that you get different advice if you ask different people. Some say running in the morning burns more fat, some say at night is better, and others may suggest running in the afternoon. To be honest, there is no definitive answer.
In my opinion, you should go running when it works best for you. That means the time that suits your life style, the time that suits your schedule, the time that you can stick to.
If you are a non-morning person, it is really a pain to get up that early to run.
If you find it hard to fall asleep after running at night, can you stick to it?
Losing weight by running is a long process. Don’t stress yourself, don’t make it a hard, boring thing. Try to make it fun and stick to it.
So, running whenever is best for you. (brisk walking maybe better and easier)
