Walking on an empty stomach
Why walk on an empty stomach?
After a night's sleep, your sugar reserves are largely depleted. When you go for a walk on an empty stomach, your body switches to burning fat more quickly.
The great effect? Less fat remains stored in your muscle cells, making your body more sensitive to insulin — and allowing your metabolism to recover.
