Most people do not know it, but this is the best time to exercise, your body will thank you and the results will be better

Much has been written over the years with countless studies carried out in a bid to determine ‘when the best time to exercise is’.

Now, most sports specialists conclude that there is no definitive “best” time and that the ‘best’ time can vary from person to person as it depends on individual preferences, lifestyle, and fitness goals.

However, there are some key points to bear in mind when wondering when to go for that twenty minute jog.

Morning activity

Exercise in the morning could help with weight loss by burning stored fat and can boost your metabolism for the rest of the day. Many people find that early morning exercise has a psychological effect of freeing up the rest of your day.

Afternoon/evening activity

Given that the body temperature is typically higher, this can enhance muscle function and performance and exercise activity is a great way to relieve stress after a long day.

The drawback for a late session is that it could interfere with sleep if done too close to bedtime.

The main takeaway according to the experts is that there’s no single “best” time to exercise and the ideal time is the one that works best for you and allows you to be consistent with your fitness routine.
