In addition to setting the pace for a productive day and blasting away calories, studies show that mental function gets set on fire – for anywhere from 4 to 10 hours following a morning workout.

Get up 30-60 minutes earlier than normal to rock your body, and your endocrine system and circadian rhythm will adjust so that you sleep better. And get this: You’ll find yourself needing less sleep over time so waking up early will become a natural part of your routine. Of course, regular morning exercise means that you’ve put your health priority in its proper place: Number one! Check out Dr. Mantell’s complete Total Gym Pulse article here.
