Is there a best time of day to exercise? If so, when is it?

Answer 1

in the morning is probably the best...it will give you energy for the rest of the day

Answer 2

In the Mornings your metabolism is lower and starts to increase from being at a low state over night,
Usually around noon is when its at the highest and then it starts to go down slowly. But Exercise does boost your metabolism, so what ever fits into your schedule and works best for you then stick to it, :D.

Heres some pros & cons I found on the internet about each time of the day to exercise. heres a sample below;



Mornings

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 may be more prone to injury - be sure to warm up well before doing a higher intensity workout, and do gentle stretching.
• If you do not 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 better calorie-burning effects later in the day.

Answer 3

There may be a time when you have the most energy or you are burning the most calories. But - the best time is when you have time and you will make exercise a habit.
