Best Time To Workout To LOSE Weight & BURN BELLY FAT | Ab Workouts, HIIT
hey everyone welcome back to my channel so one of the most commonly asked
questions is when is the best time for me to workout to answer this question
the most important thing that you should consider first is your lifestyle then
followed by the other factors that I'll be touching on next look I'm gonna touch
on the optimal time for maximum fat loss but don't over stress about applying it
if it doesn't make sense to you then you don't have to do it the worst thing you
can do to yourself is to force yourself to work out in the morning when you're
not a morning person and I'm one of those people who hate working out in the
morning so I get it so I'm gonna talk about the do's and don'ts during
different times of the day and also I'm gonna touch on a little bit about food
as well alright let's talk about morning workouts first
and when I say morning workouts I mean workouts before breakfast one of the
easiest exercise you can do in the morning is faster career so it's
basically going out for walk a faster walk so nothing before that no breakfast
just go for a walk so it is a low intensity steady-state cardio and a lot
of people do this first thing in the morning because it is the best time for
you to burn fat and also make sure your heart rate is around the optimal zone
for burning fat which is about 60 to 70 percent of your maximum heart rate so to
get that number take 220 minus your age and multiply it with 60% and 70% so
that's your optimal range so for example if you're 20 years old then your optimal
range is around 120 BPM to 140 BPM so you can go for about a twenty minutes
walk to 40 minutes walk so yeah I know not everyone has that time to work out
in the morning so just do what you can if you don't have a heart rate monitor
it is fine you just take a walk like a brisk walk and make sure that you can
still hold a conversation so you're not like getting out of breath don't go for
a run just for a walk because you want to make sure you have burning fat not
burning glycogen so if your heart rate is above the optimal range you'll be
burning mostly glycogen and not fat and you don't want that because you want the
fat to be going don't you so after the faster what I can do is you can do some
ab exercises a lot of people always say thousands don't give you abs it doesn't
help you to burn fat but if you do it after your faster walk girl you're gonna
burn or guys you're gonna burn lots of fat because I have exercises although my
ab exercises are pretty intense like intense for the apps but it's not gonna
increase your heart rate to the point it's up to at 170 or 180 BPM you know
what i mean? so abs exercises for about 10 to 20
minutes after your faster walk it's absolutely amazing in burning fat
because you're already in that fat burning zone guys like just take
advantage of that do the some ab exercises I have so many ab exercises
out there try my latest abs exercises they are absolutely amazing if
you don't have time to go for a fasted walk it's totally fine just do abs
exercises like there's no one way to do this okay
and also if you don't want to do either one of these then you can try some yoga
yoga in the morning is really great - you know just say you know get your body
moving and just you know get your limp limp attic system moving you can also
try low-impact workouts in the morning I have a couple of those and also recently
I uploaded a 30 minutes full-body workout which is absolutely great in the
morning if you do the low-impact exercises I have low-impact versions for
all my exercises all you have to do is to swap those and do it slow and easy
just make sure your heart rate is not going up the roof you know like if you
do the high-intensity version your heart rate is gonna go up to that 170 or
whatnot so try to do it slow and easy just ease into it just do some squat or
some lunges if you don't want to do my workout just do some squats and lunges
and just get your body moving you know get your heart rate up a little bit and
that's absolutely great in burning fat so that's my morning tip so I personally
don't like to do high-intensity workouts in the morning because personally I just
don't have that energy to workout in the morning and also high-intensity workouts
burn mostly glycogen instead of fat which I'll touch on later for the afternoon
workouts so yeah low intensity workouts are amazing if you want to
burn fat and also after all these exercises in morning all this faster
warm-up exercises and whatnot try to not have a high sugar breakfast
so don't go for pancakes or waffles just because you've done something in
don't reward yourself with bad food try to eat healthy food and if you want
something sweet in the morning go for low glycemic berries or cherries things
that are not gonna spike your blood sugar too much because if your blood
sugar spiked up too much it's gonna crash and you're gonna feel like crap
after and also make sure you have plenty of protein like you know sufficient
protein and morning personally I like plant-based protein these days but you
can choose whatever you want you know you can have some sardines if you want
to you can have some eggs you know your favorite protein and morning
I guess now let's talk about afternoon workouts personally I prefer to do my
workouts about two to three hours after my lunch or two to three hours after my
breakfast a little tip for you guys if you want maximum fat loss and just help
your food to digest better , is to go for a walk after your lunch so go for
fifteen minutes walk it's gonna really help with your digestion process and we
want that don't we? you don't want to feel bloated so if you have time for
that that's absolutely amazing but if you
don't have time for that it's okay it's not the end of the world! Normally I have
more energy in the afternoon around 3:00 p.m. after my lunch I like to hit the
gym with either heavy resistance training or just
resistance training or hit workouts at this time of the day because I have so
much energy that I can just push a workout like really high-intensity
workouts I can live really heavy an afternoon and also do like a crazy
insane hit workout. The reason why I waited for about two to three hours
after my meal is so that the food has already passed through my stomach and
you don't want your exercise to hinder your digestion process and yeah when
you're exercising your body is not gonna be digesting the food that well and
you're gonna feel like nauseous or if you're like throwing up and all of that
so yeah we've about two or three hours if you have problem exercising so heavy
resistance training or just resistance training or hit workouts are really
great in increasing your metabolism so if you have a sluggish metabolism try to
do these sort of workouts and I personally just don't have that energy
to do those work up in the morning because I have fasted for 10 to 12 hours
I haven't eaten anything I just woke up my body is just kind of like you know
like it just don't feel that strong in the morning and he has been research
that people are just generally more in the afternoon for workouts so
resistance training or hit workouts is gonna trigger this reaction called
EPOC. So it's basically excess post-exercise oxygen consumption! EPOC
is pretty much the afterburn effect that allows your body to burn fat while
you're at rest for the next 48 hours and hit workouts are generally really great
for that because you're increasing your heart rate so much you're breathing in
so hard and basically that's gonna trigger this after burn effect and
that's the reason why a lot of people get really good results from my workouts
because of this so again after workout make sure you have some carbs some
protein and some fat choose your favourite carbs and protein I'm not
gonna tell you exactly what you should eat just choose something that's whole
foods you know like something that is not processed and you're gonna see
really great results make sure you're not under eating especially when you're
doing hit workouts and resistance training. Now for the night owls
you guys must be thinking can I work out at night well I guess you can it depends
on what time you go to bed right like I normally go to bed at around 11 or 12 so
I generally don't really like working out at night because it's gonna disrupt
my sleep when you're working out your cortisol level is gonna go up your
adrenaline hormone is also gonna go up and when those hormones are up it's
really hard to relax those are like the hormones that get you excited you know I
mean like it's really hard to fall asleep when you're excited but on the
other hand Adrian, he doesn't have a problem sleeping even like after you
know two hours after his workout he doesn't have a problem sleeping at night
so I guess I it really depends on depends on you like I'm easily stressed
out so it is not a good idea for me to work out in the evening like late
evening or a night it is just a no-no for me I personally prefer to work out
in an afternoon some people prefer to work out in the evening which a lot of
people don't do is just because it actually increases the cortisol levels,
those stress hormones but yeah just do what you like to do nobody's gonna force
you to do something that you don't want to do you know I mean but if you insist
in working out at night you can go for low intensity exercises like ab
exercises go for a walk or just some yoga or low-impact exercises do
exercises that are not gonna increase your heart rate too much personally I
just don't do any workout that night just
because I guess stressed out so easily the only thing I do is a walk after my
dinner because I have a really weak digestion so going for a walk for about
15 to 30 minutes it's actually really good in you know just improving the
digestion process and also sometimes I'll just do some ab exercises if I want
to because those are not super high intensity if you want to lose some fat
you gotta have eight hours of sleep a day well seven to nine hours personally
I need about eight to nine hours of sleep to feel like really refreshed the
next day and the most amount of fat that you burn is when you're sleeping so get
your sleep guys that is probably the most important tip right here so that's
all for today's video I hope you guys enjoyed today's video please smash that
like button just smash it real hard. And if you don't like it just smash it even harder
that's how you do it! I'll see you guys in my next video, Bye!
