When Is the Best Time to Exercise?
Finding the time to exercise is hard for many because of tight-packed routines and schedules. But most of the time you are just slacking and finding excuses, not to work out. Some like to workout early morning. Some feel easy to work out after work.
While others can sneak workout during lunchtime or late at night. There is no reliable and scientific proof that a certain time is best or better. Put on your workout clothes and lets exercise.
Does a specific time really matter?
Some people recommend working out first thing in the morning. For reason like, it does not put your schedule at hold or conflict with other tasks. It helps burn more fat. It makes you energized, focused, and productive throughout the day.
The problem is you can get late for work or have to rush through a bath and breakfast (which is really important) after the morning workout. Secondly, it is not true that morning workouts or working out on an empty stomach will burn more fat, in the long run. Over a longer time, this process doesn’t offer advantages.

The research shows that two groups of randomly selected women, one fast and another drank a 250-calorie shake before workouts lost the same fat or weight. So, all that waking up early putting on workout clothes and working out on an empty stomach is just working out while thinking about food.
Another similar study found out the weight loss results were the same among women who didn’t and did eat or drink before high-intensity interval workouts.
If you get shivers down your spine just by the thought of waking up early morning for a workout. Or you are not a morning person then cheer up. Research shows that later in the day you are better at power and flexibility. Meaning if you work out late afternoon or after work, the body is less likely to feel how hard the exercise is.
