When is the time for morning exercise?

At five or six o'clock every morning, many people will get up early to do morning exercises. Many people always think that the earlier you get up in the morning, the better. In fact, this view is wrong. In today's serious pollution, if you get up too early in the morning to do morning exercises, it will not only do good to your body, but will be harmed by polluted air. So when is the best time for morning exercises?

Studies have shown that summer air pollutants are least likely to spread before 6 a.m., when pollution peaks. People generally like to do morning exercises in places where there are green plants growing, such as lawns, woods, and flower bushes. However, before sunrise, because there is no photosynthesis, there is not much fresh oxygen near the green plants. Instead, a large amount of carbon dioxide accumulates, which is not good for human health. Therefore, the time for morning exercise in summer should not be earlier than 6 o'clock.

It is generally believed that the air is relatively clean around 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., which are the two best times of the day. I would like to remind everyone to cherish this great time and breathe fresh air. At the same time, please pay attention to the forecast of the air pollution index and adjust the exercise time and location.

People living in cities often get up at four or five in the morning to exercise in order to improve their health. However, they don’t know that getting up early to exercise may do more harm than good and may harm the body.

As the number of cars increases, more and more exhaust gas is emitted by cars. The exhaust gas contains a large amount of harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, lead, etc., which float in the air near the ground. Getting up early to exercise and taking deep breaths during exercise will actually cause you to inhale more harmful substances. If you do this for a long time, you will experience fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, and inflammation of the trachea and throat. Only when the sun comes out and shines on the earth, air flows up and down, pollutants diffuse to high altitudes, and the inversion phenomenon disappears, will the air near the ground become clean. Going out for exercise at this time will be good for your body. Therefore, the best time to exercise should be around 10 o'clock in the morning.

Some notes for morning exercise:

Don't do morning exercises right after getting up

In the morning, the functions of the human organs are still at a relatively low level, and it is difficult to adapt to the changing external environment. A gradual adjustment process is needed to activate the physiological functions. After getting up, take a short rest, do some warm-up exercises, and then do morning exercises.

Good morning exercise after sunrise

The air before dawn or at daybreak is not fresh, and the carbon dioxide concentration released by most plants is still relatively high. The air pollution in gardens and squares is still at its peak. Only when the photosynthesis of plants begins and oxygen is gradually released can the air freshness gradually increase. Therefore, most sports medicine experts from all over the world advocate that the best time for morning exercises is after sunrise.

The above is an introduction to the time for morning exercises. Generally speaking, you should not do morning exercises immediately after getting up. You should drink a cup of warm water first to properly excrete toxins in the body, and then do morning exercises after sunrise. If you do morning exercises before the sun comes out, the air pollution will be more serious and harmful to the human body. Therefore, you must pay attention to the methods and techniques of morning exercises and master the time.
