Morning Workouts Best
March 7th 2010 03:47
The first thing in the morning is the best time to work out and lose fat because your stomach is empty. You will burn stored fat and calories. If you do it later in the day after eating a meal or two, your body will only burn the recent meals not the fat on the body. It something to think about next time you schedule cardio workouts.
When you do a cardio workout, it’s important that you hit your percentage of your maximum heart rate (MHR). The reason you do a cardio workout is to exercise your heart. The goal is to achieve between 60 and 80 percent of your MHR. Calculating your MHR is not very hard to do. You just need to know your math.
All you have to do is subtract your age from 220. That means if you're 30 years old, your MHR is 190 beats a minute (220-30=190). At 60 percent, this comes to 114, and 80 percent, it comes to 152. Therefore, if you want to enhance your aerobic fitness while doing cardio exercise, you need to aim to get your heart rate between 114 and 152 beats a minute.
Sure doing your cardio workout first thing in the morning is most beneficial for fat loss and designing the body for bodybuilding. But if you can’t do the cardio first thing in the morning, then schedule your aerobic activity when you can do it. Try to schedule it just about every day. Then, all you need to do is stick with the aerobic schedule keeping your attention on your MHR.

They are not mutual bed fellows.
By all means go hard - but know what your objective is.
