Want to lose weight, but don’t know when to go to the gym? Now is the perfect time to exercise, according to a new study.
As the saying goes, “the future belongs to those who rise early.” This is indeed the case for those who want to lose weight since it is between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. that it is best to train to optimize the effects.
“Our study provided a new tool to explore the diurnal pattern of physical activity and study its impact on health outcomes,” said Tongyu Ma, assistant professor in the department of health sciences at the University. Franklin Pierce and lead author of the study.
While experts have so far focused their research on the frequency, intensity and duration of physical activity, this new study instead looks at the diurnal pattern of physical activity measured by accelerometer in order to classify the time of day when human movement takes place,” it is specified in a press release.
“This is exciting new research that is consistent with common advice for achieving exercise goals, namely to plan exercise in the morning before emails, phone calls or meetings that might distract you,” explained Rebecca Krukowski, clinical psychologist specializing in behavioral weight management.
The specialist, however, recalled that there are flaws in the study since we do not know “whether people who exercise regularly in the morning can be systematically different from those who exercise at other times , in a way that was not measured in this study. She added that “predictable schedules could have other beneficial effects on weight that were not measured in this study, such as sleep duration/quality and stress levels.”
