La temperatura corporal suele alcanzar su punto m\u00e1ximo por la tarde, lo que puede mejorar la flexibilidad muscular y el rendimiento general. Adem\u00e1s, con el cuerpo ya calentado por la actividad diaria, puedes experimentar una mayor resistencia, lo que te permite hacer ejercicio durante m\u00e1s tiempo y quemar m\u00e1s calor\u00edas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfTienen beneficios los entrenamientos nocturnos?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si no te gusta madrugar y el ejercicio del mediod\u00eda no se adapta a tu horario, entrenar por la noche podr\u00eda ser la mejor opci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTu cuerpo ha tenido tiempo de despertar, tus m\u00fasculos se han calentado gracias a la actividad natural y probablemente hayas comido algo\u201d, afirma el Dr. Cohen. \u201cTodos estos factores mejoran la fuerza y \u200b\u200bla resistencia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Algunas ventajas de entrenar por la noche incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Te ayuda a relajarte:<\/strong> el ejercicio nocturno alivia el estr\u00e9s acumulado durante el d\u00eda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oportunidades sociales:<\/strong> las clases de fitness en grupo y los compa\u00f1eros de entrenamiento pueden aumentar la motivaci\u00f3n.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Puedes sentirte menos apurado:<\/strong> si has cumplido con la mayor\u00eda de tus responsabilidades diarias, puedes tomarte tu tiempo para entrenar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>En resumen: La constancia es m\u00e1s importante que el horario<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Si bien las investigaciones respaldan diferentes beneficios para entrenar por la ma\u00f1ana, por la tarde y por la noche, el mejor momento para hacer ejercicio es cuando se adapte a tu estilo de vida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSi tu horario no es predecible, quiz\u00e1s necesites ser flexible y tener un plan para diferentes momentos del d\u00eda\u201d, afirma el Dr. Cohen. \u201cLa constancia es clave: seguir una rutina es m\u00e1s importante que elegir el momento perfecto\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beneficios de la Actividad F\u00edsica<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Independientemente de cu\u00e1ndo se haga ejercicio, los beneficios para la salud son innegables.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAl tener una mentalidad abierta sobre cu\u00e1ndo hacer ejercicio, es m\u00e1s probable que se mantenga activo regularmente, lo cual es esencial para la salud y el bienestar\u201d, afirma el Dr. Cohen. \u201cLos beneficios del ejercicio son demasiado numerosos como para ignorarlos\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Algunos de los principales beneficios incluyen:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mejor estado de \u00e1nimo y salud mental:<\/strong> El ejercicio alivia el estr\u00e9s, la ansiedad, la depresi\u00f3n y la ira, mejora la funci\u00f3n cognitiva y aumenta la confianza y la autoestima.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mayor capacidad f\u00edsica:<\/strong> La actividad regular aumenta la fuerza y \u200b\u200bla resistencia muscular, mejora la flexibilidad, reduce el riesgo de lesiones, mejora el equilibrio para prevenir ca\u00eddas y previene la p\u00e9rdida de funciones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reducci\u00f3n del riesgo de enfermedades cr\u00f3nicas:<\/strong> El ejercicio puede mejorar la salud cardiovascular, reducir la presi\u00f3n arterial, aumentar el colesterol bueno, disminuir el riesgo de diabetes, mejorar la circulaci\u00f3n, ayudar a controlar el peso y prevenir la p\u00e9rdida \u00f3sea.
