If your health and fitness are important to you, you hate the idea that you're not making the most of each workout. This is especially true if you face long work hours and kids. With all that you've been told, it's hard to imagine you're doing something wrong when you do cardiovascular exercise 3-5 times a week. Let's say you're seeing and feeling good results so far, but you're losing weight less quickly than expected.

Did you know that exercising during the early morning hours really helps increase your fat burning ability? To get the most out of your workouts, make sure you start shortly after you wake up, and before breafast. This way, your muscles don't have any new carbs or fat to burn, so you just burn your current supply.

Morning is the best time to do your cardio exercises like walking and running; but you should also weight-train your muscles using medium weights and many repetitions (15 per set, for example). This causes your muscles to burn away the fat around them more efficiently, rather than just increasing in size.

Early morning exercise before breakfast has been proven to increase your fat burning ability by up to 300% compared to workouts at any other time. There is something you absolutely must do to make this work: Eat a balanced meal right after you work out. This ensures that your metabolism stays up to speed, keeping you burning the maximum number of calories all day long.

Take advantage of this fact and you'll see faster results. That means less fat, less cellulite, and a sexy, toned body.
