Scientific Basis for My Morning Exercise Preference!

I'm definitely more of a night owl than a morning person, but for years I've known that the best time for me to work out is in the morning, before I kick off my daily activities. The longer I wait, the harder it is for me to get out the door for a run, or to head to the gym. What's up with that? Well, a post on http://www.healthyfellow.com, illustrates what I've found to be true for me. Exercise was perceived by subjects in a small study to be more taxing after intensive mentally challenging activity. So if I've spent my day working, studying, and generally managing my life, my workout is likely to feel more difficult. Intuitively I think I've realized this, since even the idea of starting the workout becomes more difficult, seems more daunting, as my day progresses. So even though I'm a night owl by nature, morning workouts are definitely for me. You can check out the post at http://www.healthyfellow.com/152/the-best-time-to-exercise/#more-152.
