The Most Appropriate Sports Time To Lose Weight

JAKARTA - Sport is one of the activities that must be done if you want a healthy body and have an ideal weight. If exercising in order to lose weight, then exercise time needs to be considered.

According to research published by the journal Obesity, it was revealed that the most appropriate time for exercise to lose weight was in the morning. The sport between kiosk-09:00 am is associated with a waist circumference and a lower body mass index, compared to people exercising at night.

Researchers studied health data and activity from 5,285 people participating in the United States. After the body mass index (IMT) and waist circumference were recorded, they wore activity tracers on the hips every day, for 10 hours or so, for 4 to 7 days.

Then it was found that those who exercise in the morning between 09:00 p.m. have an average IMT of 27.5. Meanwhile, those who exercise during the day at 00:00 p.m. and at night at 17:00-20:00 p.m. have an average IMT of 28.3.

Their waist circumference, which works in the morning, is also found to be smaller, which is 96 cm. Meanwhile, those who exercise day and night have a waist circumference of 97.5 cm. This proves that sports are more effective in the morning if they want to lose weight and acquire an ideal body shape.

In addition, previous studies also found that exercise in the morning makes a person tend to consume lower calories. This makes a person not eat excessively, so the diet runs smoothly.

Exercise in the morning during fasting also has a major impact on the weight loss process. In fasting conditions, the body relies on fat as energy, not glucose from food, so that fat burning is faster.
