Personal Health Accountability
Monday, July 31, 2023
I work with Executives everyday educating, motivating & inspiring them to take action to improve, both personally and professionally. Many executives are looking for the quick fix, the secret formula…but sometimes it’s just a matter of getting started & moving more!
Morning exercise has been studied extensively, and scientific evidence suggests several benefits:
- Metabolic Boost: Morning exercise can kickstart your metabolism, leading to increased calorie burn throughout the day. (Reference: American Journal of Physiology - Endocrinology and Metabolism).
- Improved Mood: Physical activity releases endorphins, which can enhance mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. (Reference: Harvard Health Publishing).
- Enhanced Cognitive Function: Morning exercise has been linked to improved cognitive performance, attention, and memory. (Reference: British Journal of Sports Medicine).
- Consistency: Morning workouts tend to be more consistent since they are less likely to be disrupted by daily responsibilities. (Reference: Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology).
- Better Sleep: Regular morning exercise can improve sleep quality and help regulate your circadian rhythm. (Reference: National Sleep Foundation).
- Appetite Regulation: Morning exercise may help regulate appetite hormones and lead to healthier eating habits. (Reference: Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism).
- Reduced Blood Pressure: Morning exercise can contribute to lower blood pressure levels throughout the day. (Reference: Hypertension)
- Increased Insulin Sensitivity: Physical activity in the morning can improve insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation. (Reference: Diabetes Care).
So lace up your shoes & hit the pavement, you have nothing to lose.
