A friend with excessive body fat said that she wanted to exercise to lose weight.
However, when I get up in the morning to cook breakfast and take care of the children, I am very busy. I work in the office during the day and have no chance to change clothes and do sports before leaving work. After work, I have to cook dinner for the children and have time to move freely after 8 o’clock.
However, when she was just about to start exercising at night, she saw all kinds of opinions in WeChat circle of friends that it was not appropriate to exercise at night:
Exercise at night equals chronic suicide!
If you sweat again after the sun goes down, it will hurt the sun!
After organizing the fun run team, the elderly fell ill one after another!
… …
Exercise at night equals chronic suicide?
Is this statement really reliable? Many people ask that.
Not reliable.
This statement comes from the ancient view. To understand this problem, we must restore to the ancient living conditions and eating conditions to understand it.
Compared with modern people, the ancients lived a difficult life and had to do a lot of manual labor during the day. Even if you don’t deliberately exercise every day, the amount of physical activity will be very large, so you should have a good rest at night.
Besides, ordinary workers often do not have enough to eat, of course, there is no need to consume extra physical energy.
Many modern people have completely different lifestyles. From morning to afternoon, they sit still in the office all day. It is very difficult to have a little free time at night. Can’t they have some proper activities?
In addition, food is now extremely rich, and dinner is the most abundant meal of the day. Is it more beneficial to health to sit on the sofa and watch TV every night when you are full?
Since it is unreliable, then the problem arises…
What Time Is Best for Sports?
There is no definite conclusion on this issue.
If you have to say that what is the best time to exercise, according to the comprehensive analysis of the data we have seen so far, it seems to be a good choice to exercise in the morning.
Some studies show that:
When the subjects ate foods with more calories and fat, the same amount of exercise worked best when completed in the morning. Because compared with exercise at other times, morning exercise has the best effect on inhibiting blood lipid rise during the day.
Speaking of which, many people will say: You see, isn’t this the same as what traditional health preservation says? The morning is the time for [Yang Qi to grow]. You should exercise in the morning.
This statement is not accurate. Having a good place to exercise in the morning does not prove that exercise at other times is definitely harmful.
Increasing physical activity, even at night, is definitely conducive to reducing body fat and controlling blood sugar and blood lipid compared with sitting all day.
A simple way to judge whether the exercise effect is good is to look at the body reaction after the exercise.
After exercise, the body is comfortable, the sleep is sweet, and the next day the body is refreshed and refreshed, which shows that the body likes this practice. If you are tired and weak the next day, you are not exercising properly.
To sum up, no matter morning or evening, the time suitable for you is the best.
Do you need to pay attention to what when exercising at night?
For office workers, night exercise is really a good choice. After a day’s work, night exercise helps to relax and help sleep.
However, it should be noted that the amount of exercise at night should be moderate.
It is better not to do the exciting competitive sports, but to do monotonous sports, such as fast walking and jogging.
It is good to exercise until the whole body is comfortable and smooth. Don’t let yourself be exhausted after exercise.
It is best not to do exercise for an hour before going to bed.
