You are in: Main Page / Medical articles / Weight Loss / When to Exercise to Lose Weight
If we want our training to be effective we just need to know our organism, our individual rhythm. The article says when to exercise to lose weight.
Even if we have the most modern machinery at home or at the gym, but we don't know our organism's preferences our training won't bring desired results.
Part of the day we want to exercise is equally important as the type of exercising we perform. The organism secretes various hormones in different parts of the day, for instance, the pineal gland produces serotonin (the hormone of happiness) in the morning. It gives us a drive to be active. During the night, the pineal gland produces melanin which helps to fall asleep. Hormones are also responsible for the attitude towards exercising in various parts of the day.
Adrenalin
Adrenalin is the main hormone which affects energy and our activities. The amount of adrenaline in the organism grows right after we wake up. It works until 11, however, the highest level of adrenaline is between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. What might be surprising it doesn't mean he energy level is high. On the contrary, we feel tired and want to relax. It is a natural reaction of the organism on the high adrenaline level. The next spurt appears around 5 p.m. We should know that high levels of adrenaline aren't good for training.
The best time
When we feel like moving it doesn't necessarily mean that this is the best time for exercising. Training should be avoided when adrenaline level is high and around 2 p.m. when we are after a meal. We ought to wait around 2, 3 hours until digesting finishes. Exercising without empty stomach isn't a good idea either, the organism will use the glucose reserves which in long run could cause fainting. Those hormones which fasten fat burning are secreted in various parts of the day. In the morning we have high cortisol levels, in the evening high levels of growth hormone and adrenaline - they stimulate lipase that oxygenates fat and uses it as a source of energy. Remember about these rules when you choose the right time for your training.
An example exercise schedule
6-8 a.m. - time for a warm-up, stretching exercises, bends and knee bends
8-10 am - a good time for moderate training, we ca go cycling or Nordic walking
10 a.m.-1 - p.m. body coordination is at its best so we can play tennis, badminton or golf
1 - 4 p.m. - lunchtime and time to take some rest before we start exercising
4 - 7 p.m. - we're fit and strong, we can do aerobics, roller skate
8 pm - a good time for relaxing exercises such as swimming, yoga.
