Well, it depends on your goal. Studies show that there are different perks depending on when you choose to work out.
- For example, morning exercise is correlated with better sleep and better heart health. And people who do morning workouts are the most likely to be consistent because there are fewer things to get in the way of that commitment.
- Afternoon workouts are good for athletes, because that’s when your body temperature is highest – so you’re more flexible and have more power. And a higher body temperature is also linked to higher physical performance.
- Evening workouts are best for anyone with high blood pressure. People had a more significant drop in blood pressure following an evening workout, when their arteries were more flexible. And evening exercise kept their blood pressure low throughout the night and into the morning.
As for me, while I know that the afternoon would be best because my body would be warmer, I know that if I don’t workout in the morning-it just won’t happen.
I’ll be too tired. I’ll face some business problem.etc etc. As with any of this advice it’s so important to ‘take what you want and leave the rest’. Experiment with this intel and let me know what you think. JT
