According to a 2013 study conducted by the British Journal of Nutrition, people who exercised in the morning on an empty stomach burned up to 20 percent more body fat. Not bad, huh?

3. Boosts your mood

When you exercise, your brain releases chemicals called endorphins, which help block feelings of pain and make you feel good. In fact, people who exercise regularly are less likely to experience depression. Due to the amount of endorphins released in the brain during exercise, the person experiences a sudden feeling of euphoria. That’s what the term “runner’s high” refers to.
