Is there a "ideal" time to exercise to gain the most out of it?????


Question:
I've heard conflicting theories of why morning is better and why later in the day (afternoon/evening) is better, just wanted to know if anyone knows when it is the optimal time to exercise... and NO "I think" or "maybe" answers.

Answers:
If weight loss is your goal, then morning is ideal, especially if you perform the exercise before breakfast, as the body will have to use fat as the primary energy source sooner than if you have been eating all day, it will mean that the run will be harder, but you will gain more. You will also find that if you run in the evening before bed, you may struggle to sleep due to various hormones (eg endorphins) pumping through your body. I personally find the morning is the best time to train, as it tends to be quieter and wakes you up for the day ahead. Any more questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

in the morning, it kick-starts your metabolism and really gets the oxygen flowing through your blood.
