Exercising early in the day, within an hour of waking and no later than three hours after waking, can increase energy levels and bias individuals towards action.

“This effort-induced-release of neuromodulators such as dopamine & norepinephrine, is a real & remarkable neurobiological phenomenon.”

“For most people, exercising 30-60min after waking = more energy.”

“exercising early in the day, not only biases us towards waking up earlier, but that it also triggers the release of things like epinephrine and other neuromodulators, that lend itself, to a situation where we have heightened levels of arousal and mental acuity in the late morning and even into the afternoon.”

“exercising early in the day does set a neurochemical context or mill you for go. It tends to trigger activation of the go pathway.”

“early morning exercise within an hour of waking, and certainly no later than three hours after waking, will give you quote unquote more energy throughout the day. It will make you feel more biased for action.”

“This is why exercising early in the day gives you more energy for rest of day.”

“early morning exercise within an hour of waking and certainly no later than 3 hours after waking will give you quote unquote more energy throughout the day so in kind of reviewing what I've set up until now I do the morning light thing I delay my caffeine 2 hours after waking and then I generally try and get exercise in in the first hour or ideally within the first three hours of waking up”

“And then that adrenaline acts on this nerve called the vagus nerve, which communicates to the areas of your brain that release dopamine and something called norepinephrine. It basically wakes your brain up also. So that morning workout that you're describing, wakes up your brain and body for something like six hours by changing the neurochemical state of your body and your brain.”
