You'd better work it out!


Summer is closer and for some people that is a strong reason to sign up in a gym, or simply to put into diet and to do some  exercises by their own.
Some scientists at the University of Glasgow have been tried to figured out if there is a difference when you work out before breakfast or after of it.
When I read this article, I remember a discussion with my brother about this topic, and I told him: “I consider that eating first and then working out; it will mean that you will burn some calories that you just have ingested”. Now, after reading the article, there’s a chance that I was wrong.

According to the scientific article, the study was conducted in ten overweight-not regular exerciser men. Each man was under three trials for 1-2 weeks: no exercise then eating breakfast; walking briskly for an hour before eating breakfast; and doing the walk after eating breakfast.
The results were: 49kcal unburnt fat without exercise; 216kcal when they exercise after breakfast; and 298kcal when the group exercises before breakfast.

 As you can see, both trial including exercises were fat burning, but before the breakfast was greater. Even though, the premise is to work out, no matter if you do it before your first meal of the day, or after. Doctors and the scientific community encourage people to exercise due to the high level of obesity around the world.

It’s important to mention that to have a good diet and a routine to working out is not related just to aesthetic parameters, but to health. We as future teachers need to be aware of it, for instance, as teachers we will spend most of the time stand up, and that will affect our legs –especially the circulatory system. No matter what kind of routine you decide to follow, as long as you keep working out! 


Do you think this investigation is transcendental? (consider the number of participants on it).
If you have been under diet and working out plan, have you noticed a difference if you exercise before a meal or after of it?.
