Should you exercise in the morning or at night?

Question

I also read or hear that you should exercise in the morning
but the only way i can actually get into excercising and workin on my routines is at night i seem more calm
am i doing it wrong?

help please

Answer 1

do both! Exercise for a bit when you wake up to boost metabolism (dance to some music while you get dressed) and at then some more at night to relax your body (it'll help you sleep better).

Answer 2

i beleive they say that because your blood sugar and insulin levels are lowest in the morning since youve been fasting all nightm so your body is forced to rely on fatty acids rather than glucose which maximizes weight loss. i think if you just dont eat anything for a few hours before you excercise youll have about the same effect, but i might not be wrong listen to someone else on here if they seem to know more than me. its not a huge difference though, keep excercising at night if you cant in the morning because if youre trying to force yourself youre more apt to quit and end up excercising less

From what I understand, it's best to exercise in the morning within 30 minutes of waking up. It jump starts your metabolism for the day. However, working out at night still is beneficial. Any kind of physical activity, no matter what time of day will help you stay healthy and fit. If working out at night is better for you, then just stick with that.

morning.

1. Over 90% of people who exercise *consistently*, exercise in the morning. If you want to exercise consistently, odds are in your favor if you exercise first thing in the morning.

2.When you exercise early in the morning, it "jump starts" your metabolism and keeps it elevated for hours, sometimes up to 24 hours! That means you're burning more calories all day long just because you exercised in the morning!

3. When you exercise in the morning you'll be *energized* for the day! Personally, I feel dramatically different on days when I have and haven't exercised in the morning.

4. Many people find that morning exercise "regulates" their appetite for the day...that they aren't as hungry and that they make better food choices. Several people have told me that it puts them in a "healthy mindset"

5. If you exercise at about the same time every morning...and ideally wake-up at about the same time on a regular basis, your body's endocrine system and circadian rhythms adjust to that, and physiologically, some wonderful things happen; A couple of hours *before* you awaken, your body begins to prepare for waking and exercise because it "knows" it's about to happen...why? because it "knows" you do the same thing just about everyday. You benefit from that in several ways...

It's MUCH easier to wake-up. When you wake-up at different times everyday, it confuses your body and thus it's never really "prepared" to awaken.
Your metabolism and all the hormones involved in activity and exercise begin to elevate while you're sleeping. Thus, you feel more alert, energized, and ready to exercise when you do wake-up.
Hormones prepare your body for exercise by regulating blood pressure, heart rate, blood flow to muscles, etc.
6. For many people, that appointed time every morning becomes something they look forward to. It's time they've set aside to do something good for themselves...to take care of their body, mind, and soul. Many find that it's a great time to think clearly, pray, plan their day, or just relax mentally.

7. Research has demonstrated that exercise increases mental acuity... on average it lasts four to ten hours after exercise! No sense in wasting that while you're sleeping. :)

8. Exercise first thing in the morning is really the only way to assure that something else won't crowd exercise out of your schedule. When your days get hectic, exercise usually takes a back seat!

9. If finding time to exercise is difficult, anyone can get up 30 to 60 minutes earlier to exercise (if it's a priority in your life). If necessary, you can go to sleep a little earlier. Also, research has demonstrated that people who exercise on a regular basis have a higher quality of sleep and thus require less sleep!

10. You'll feel GREAT! DO IT! :)

Answer 5

Many people burn those last few pounds by moving their workout to the morning. This is because when you exercise, you raise your metabolism. If you raise it first thing in the morning, it helps you burn more throughout the day.

Answer 6

exercise has the greatest effect on ur body in the morning. it keeps ur digestion up and allows ur to digest ur food quicker.
