For this reason, I am visiting the gym before or after work, but in fact, exercising in the morning and exercising in the evening have different effects.
Exercising in the morning is perfect for ‘body fat reduction’
If your goal is to reduce body fat, morning or early morning exercise is recommended. In particular, exercising in the morning on an empty stomach is effective in reducing body fat mass because fat is burned better. However, caution must be taken in weather with severe daily temperature differences, as morning temperatures may be low, reducing the flexibility of muscles and joints and reducing the activity of enzymes involved in energy metabolism. At this time, exercise ability decreases, so it is best to warm up for at least 10 minutes before starting a full-scale exercise.
Exercising in the evening is effective for ‘strengthening muscles’
In fact, in terms of the effectiveness of exercise, it is known that doing the same exercise at night is more effective. After 7 p.m., the secretion of adrenocorticosteroids and thyroid-stimulating hormones increases. These hormones can increase metabolism and increase exercise efficiency by increasing the body’s alertness. However, exercising for too long can interfere with sleep, so it is advisable to exercise for less than 2 hours. In addition, if you exercise at high intensity at night, it stimulates the sympathetic nerves and interferes with sleep, so it is recommended to avoid high-intensity exercise and finish exercising at least 2 hours before bedtime.
People with chronic diseases should exercise ‘at this time’
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether healthy people exercise in the morning or evening. More important than that is how regularly and consistently you do it. However, people with chronic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes are recommended to exercise in the evening rather than early in the morning. It is often thought that exercising at night can be problematic for people with medical conditions, but for people with high blood pressure or diabetes, early morning exercise can actually be harmful.
Blood pressure is generally highest during the day just after getting out of bed in the morning, but suddenly exercising too early can be dangerous because it overloads the brain and heart. According to previous research, the risk of having a heart attack in the morning is higher than in the afternoon. It was also found to be more than twice as high.
Additionally, evening exercise is also recommended for diabetic patients. Exercising early in the morning on an empty stomach carries the risk of hypoglycemia, and since most people eat more dinner than breakfast, exercising after dinner can effectively lower blood sugar levels.
