But does all this actually work?

We asked Dr Rakesh Gupta, senior consultant, internal medicine, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals about the claim that ’20 minutes each morning’ of such a workout could lead to ‘fastest’ weight loss and fat loss. He said there’s no single ‘fastest’ or ‘most effective’ time for exercise.

According to him, weight loss is primarily influenced by: Overall caloric deficit (consuming fewer calories than you burn), consistency in both diet and exercise and individual factors like metabolism, age, current fitness level, and overall health.

Are morning workouts the most effective?

So, what about morning workouts, do they work best for losing belly fat and weight? “While morning workouts can be beneficial for establishing a routine and may help some people stay consistent, research doesn’t support that morning exercise is inherently more effective for weight loss than exercise at other times of the day,” Dr Rakesh Gupta says.

He shared that the most effective workout is one that:

◉ You can stick to consistently

◉ Combines both cardio and strength training

◉ Fits your schedule and lifestyle

◉ Is performed at an appropriate intensity for your fitness level
