It's been acknowledged for a while now that the earlier in the day you exercise the longer you benefit from the 'afterburn effect' - technically known as Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC).

But now you have a more specific time frame. 

At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you exercise. 7-9 a.m. may be possibly be ideal, but if that doesn't fit your schedule  - don't sweat it! (pun intended.) 

The study was published in the journal, Obesity, where their research is based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the USA.
