May
I do my daily workout in the morning before I put anything at all into my body (besides the occasional half glass of water). I've heard that this is the ideal time, but is it true? And if so, why?
Just curious. I'm in good health but I always like to go for what’s going to benefit my body the most.
Answer:
Research on lung function, body rhythms, temperature, and hormone levels says one thing - to exercise around 6 pm.
Surveys on exercise habits say another - to exercise in the morning before other commitments distract you, or during the day when you have a free period of time. Let's explore the pros and cons of when to exercise.
Pros:
• The majority of people who exercise consistently do so early in the day. It is easier to form the exercise habit through morning exercise.
• Fewer distractions and schedule interruptions.
• Can make time for exercise by getting up a bit earlier.
• Raises your heart rate and metabolism to burn more calories earlier in the day.
• Gives a feeling of physical energy for hours.
• Improves your mental acuity for hours.
• Cooler temperatures in summer.
• Air pollution is lowest in the morning.
• The body adjusts to your exercise time, so if you are training for a morning sports event, train in the morning.
Cons:
• Body temperature is at its lowest 1-3 hours before awakening, making morning a time of naturally lower energy and blood flow.
• Cold, stiff muscles might be more apt to injury - be sure to warm up well before doing a higher intensity workout, and do gentle stretching.
• If you don’t enjoy morning exercise, you won't easily form a habit by choosing a morning workout time.
• Because body temperature and hormones are higher in late afternoon, you probably get the same or superior calorie-burning effects later in the day.
Answer:
reasons why morning is best:
a. its when your energy is at its highest. You pay attention more, alert to more. (even if you aren't a morning person after waking up this is true)
b. Starts out the day feeling refreshed , great.
c. kicks off your metabolism.
but basically. as long as you exercise at some point during the day you are fine. I love to run in the mornings. I feel so great afterwords for the whole day. I like to ride my exercise bike later in the afternoon.
try to avoid working out at night , some people can with no problem, but it can make sleeping hard for some. It never bothers me.
Answer:
I don't think it really matters outside of the fact that exercising late at night can disrupt your sleep patterns. If you can exercise in the morning, I advocate continuing that program. I find that my body is incapable of exercise in the morning, so I get my exercise in around 6pm.
Answer:
Early morning is best - has to do with muscles and giving them time to recover after working out. It also makes sense from nutrition standpoint. And also for most people, not much energy in the evening/at night to work out.
Answer:
I've been told it's best to exercise in the morning because it kicks up your metabolism for the rest of the day, and you process your food superior and have more energy.
Answer:
You are on the right track. Exercise in the morning uprifts your body system, and the function of the body organs.
Keep up en make sure you take the right meal after your exercise.
