THE TIME TRADEOFF
30 minutes of exercise does not cost you 30 minutes.
Increased energy for the day, plus the cumulative health effect, plus slimmer, metabolism higher creates you making better decisions, utilizing time better (because you feel better), not wasting time in distractions to lower anxiety, not partaking of so many "uppers" that hurt on the downside later.
WHEN TO EXERCISE
Argument for the morning
Setting aside time during your morning routine for exercise yields great benefits. People who exercise in the a.m. will find themselves much more energized throughout the day, as well as an increased metabolism.
It is important, however, to choose your morning exercise routine carefully--losing too much sleep (not getting your recommended 6-8 hours of beauty zzz's)--can actually harm you. Sleep is an important part of maintaining your healthy, high energy, calorie-burning body.
Just 15 minutes each morning can lead to a healthier, happier you!
