Pros and Cons of exercising in the morning vs. night ?

Answer 1

It depends on whether you're a night person or a morning person. Other than that it's personal preference. Few people who work a day job have time to work out in the morning. Having an extensive workout before breakfast isn't possible. Working out when you are not fully awake may trigger cardiac arrhythmias.

Answer 2

Exercising in the morning is better at burning fat because before you eat breakfast you will have gone six to ten hours without having eaten anything, which is normally the longest part of the day we go hungry. After that long insulin levels are very low and thus hormone sensitive lipase is active and working to cleave triglycerides inside fat cells and putting the fat into the blood where the muscles can burn it. If you exercise when your insulin levels are high (while drinking a sugary soda, etc) you will only burn sugar, not fat in your muscles. Also you can speed up hormone sensitive lipase by drinking a beverage that has caffeine but no sugar, such as a diet soda or black coffee.

Answer 3

The pros of exercising in the morning is if it a aerobic type of exercise it will get you going, charges you up so to speak and you don't want to do that before bedtime. At night you could do something like stretching, yoga or tai chi to help you relax and sleep better.

Answer 4

working out in the mornings before you eat burns more fat and calories than working out at night after already having two or three meals in you. When you work out the first calories you burn are the ones that are most easy accessed by your body, which would be food in the digestion process. So if there is no food in your digestion process then your body moves on to reserve energy sources which are the fats that your body has stored. You really do get the most out of working out in the mornings especially when it comes to cardio. Also working out at night can make it difficult for you to sleep as excercising raises blood pressure, and heart rate. Excercising also gives you energy so you might be too energetic to sleep at your normal hour. Hope this helps!

exercising in the morning helps get your metabolism revving first thing to keep you energized all day. eat breakfast and exercise. if you feel okay, you can exercise before breakfast, but you may not have the energy to exercise as long. exercising in the evening keeps your metabolism revving through the night, but try not to exercise too late. the best exercise routine is to exercise for 30 minutes in the morning and after dinner.

Answer 6

Morning is better. It jumps starts your metabolism and keeps it going all day. It wakes up your body and helps it to function well. It gives you more energy in the long run. Sometimes exercising at night will wake up your body and it's harder to rest after your body has been moving, therefore you get less, restful sleep.
