Exercise in the Morning

"Exercising in the morning may offer a simple way to accelerate results while boosting your mood and energy levels throughout the day." Bari Lieberman

I love to exercise in the morning -- because then I know I have done it, and it will not get squeezed out of my day.  Mollen Clinc gives other reasons for exercising in the morning.  It will make you feel invigorated.  One study at Mollen Clinic showed that morning walkers were more likely to stay active throughout the rest of the day.  You may be better at work or any other area where you want to be sharp; as regular exercise increases production of a neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which boosts mental acuity.  Doing exercise first thing in the morning makes you more likely to exercise before the distractions of the day that are out of your control - such as work, family responsibility, caregiving - get in the way.
