2. Hormone level advantage

The ratio of cortisol to testosterone is more conducive to fat breakdown in the evening, and adrenaline secretion is 30% higher than in the morning. These natural "exercise supplements" can directly boost your fat burning efficiency.

The human body's coordination and reaction speed are improved by 5% -8% in the afternoon, and the risk of sports injuries is reduced by 27% compared to the morning. Exercising during this period is equivalent to equipping the body with an intelligent motion assistance system.

2. How to Seize the Golden 30 Minutes

Warm up with brisk walking for the first 5 minutes, use interval running mode (1-minute sprint+2-minute slow jog) for the next 15 minutes, and maintain a steady speed for the last 10 minutes. This wave like intensity can prolong the EPOC (excess oxygen consumption after exercise) effect by 3 hours.

3. Instant Recovery Techniques

Immediately perform 5-minute dynamic stretching after running, with a focus on relaxing the hip and ankle joints. When supplementing electrolyte drinks, take small sips and drink slowly to avoid diluting gastric juice with large amounts of water at once.

Hypertensive patients are advised to exercise between 9-10am, when blood pressure fluctuations are smaller. Patients with diabetes should avoid exercise at dusk to prevent delayed hypoglycemia.

3. Office Family Solution

After work, do 10 minutes of office stretching before starting a run, which can effectively prevent sports injuries. Using a standing desk can activate lower limb muscle groups in advance, increasing exercise effectiveness by 20%.
