Thanks for posting this.
I think a lot of dieters make the mistake of exercising after eating. If you put food in, the new calories are being absorbed and are readily available in the bloodstream to be burned by the activity of the exercise so no stored fat needs to be burned.
To burn fat off the body needs to be active at a time when you have been in a fasting state. I think exercising before breakfast is ideal in that you have not taken in calories for many hours so the muscles have to tap into the stored calories. For fat loss this works well. For general maintenance of physical fitness it is less important.
However, if one is trying to control their blood sugar, a fifteen minute walk after meals is highly beneficial.
I think there’s something to that.
I know my body doesn’t like it too well when I have to exercise in the afternoon vs. early morning before eating anything.
But it’s also weather related...too danged cold to go mountain biking in the winter mornings.
In the summer, I can ride 4-6 days at least 10 miles a day before work and do ok. In the winter, I struggle mightily to get 3-4 days of riding.
Something is better than nothing though.
