AB0UT THAT EXERCISE PROGRAM

Over 90% of people who exercise "consistently" do it in the morning.
Research has demonstrated that exercise increases mental acuity.
On average it lasts four to ten hours after exercise!
It"jump starts" your metabolism and keeps it elevated for hours, sometimes up to 24 hours!
That means you're burning more calories all day long.
