Research has shown that exercising in the morning may have a positive impact on cardiometabolic risk factors, including cardiovascular disease and metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity.
A recent study found that individuals who exercised in the morning were less likely to develop certain health conditions compared to those who exercised later in the day. In fact, exercising in the morning was associated with a 30% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Exercise has numerous benefits for overall health and well-being, including maintaining a moderate weight and improving heart health. While all exercise is beneficial, this study suggests that exercising in the morning may yield greater cardiometabolic benefits than later in the day.
**The Study's Findings**The researchers analyzed data from 14,489 individuals who were participating in the large national study All of Us. The research was based on health records and Fitbit-derived heart data. Over a period of one year, the researchers analyzed minute-level heart rate data from Fitbit devices to track bursts of physical activity.
The findings showed that individuals who frequently exercised in the morning were:
- 31% less likely to have coronary artery disease
- 18% less likely to have high blood pressure
- 21% less likely to have hyperlipidemia
- 30% less likely to have type 2 diabetes
- 35% less likely to have obesity
The lowest rates of coronary artery disease were associated with exercise between 7 and 8 a.m.
**What Does This Mean for You?**While the study's findings are promising, it's essential to note that any exercise is better than no exercise. However, if you can incorporate morning exercise into your routine, it may have additional benefits for your cardiometabolic health.
We encourage our patients to talk to their healthcare provider about incorporating physical activity into their daily routine and to discuss the best time of day for exercise based on their individual needs and schedule.
