Best Time to Exercise

When you exercise regularly it will help you lose weight by revving up your metabolism and helping you avoid frustrating weight-loss plateaus. The question is , are there any time of day that will make a difference in how much fat you burn?

Current research recommends that to some degree more fat is burned when a person exercises directly following the overnight fast. On the other hand, exercise can usually be performed at a higher intensity in the late afternoon when the body’s temperature and hormone levels peak and muscles are more stretchy.

Of course, it is also important to consider how consistent you are and what kind of exercise you do. There are so many exercises that encourages alternating days for cardio and core exercises because if you try to do both on the same day and on a daily basis, you may suffer muscle exhaustion.

As a trainer, I also suggest to work out first thing in the morning especially if you have time, but if you will find it easier in the afternoon, then that are acceptable as well. My proposal is exercise when — and where — you will most take pleasure in, which will make you most likely to remain devoted to your schedule.

If you miss a workout, don’t fret on it. What’s important is you have to make time for your exercise routine and on your eating plan too. If you skip a 30-minute exercise, be sure to make better food choices on that day (and all the other days) and convince yourself to incorporate an exercise habit the next day!

Happy Holidays!
