It's no secret that trying to lose weight can be quite a challenge for many people, but when exactly you chose to exercise can have a big impact on this, scientists say. According to a new study, anyone hoping to shed a few pounds should aim to workout at a certain time of day - and it may be bad news for those who like a lie-in of a morning.
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and University of Copenhagen in Denmark have found that working out early in the morning could help in making losing weight much easier. Their study discovered that by exercising earlier in the day, this can increase fat metabolism, which is the rate at which you burn fat, Daily Record reports.
Results of the study have been published in the PNAS journal and show that mice that exercised during what would be the equivalent of a late morning for us kicked their metabolism into action much earlier in the day, in comparison to the one that were active in the evenings.
