Set your alarm clock an hour earlier and you’ll burn 100 extra calories a day. How? By switching your evening run to and early morning workout. That’s right – simply switching the time means you get all that extra benefit even if you spend the rest of the day sat on your butt.
It's because exercise boosts your metabolic rate (the speed at which your body uses calories) for almost 20 hours afterwards, so start the day with a workout and you'll burn more calories than if you just flop into bed after an evening run.
Exercising before 9am for an hour boosts metabolic rate by 13 per cent for the first three hours, then four per cent for the following 16, which could add up to an extra 100 calories burnt off by the end of the day.
