When is the best time of day to exercise???????

I believe that everyone has a "prime time" for physical activity. Energy levels rise and fall during the day so if you know, generally, that you're more physically "up" at a certain time of day (and if you have the freedom of choice of course) I think you should opt for that particular time - whether it's morning, evening or somewhere in between. Taking into account metabolic rates and caloric burn and all won't do you a bit of good if you self-sabotage by picking a time of day you hate, simply because you read somewhere that it's best. For me, personally, my best time is around 10 AM but if I don't have that choice then my next best time is earlier in the day...say 7 or 8 or so, before I have the chance to whine my way out of it. I've been running for 25 years now and the temptation to whine or weasel my way out of it STILL exists, so don't knock yourself around too much if you get a bad case of the "lack-a-wannas." It happens to everyone once (or twice!) in awhile.

Well, I read about a study that said that it doesn't matter what time you exercise but I do believe it is a lot better to do it in the morning. 1-It'll be the first thing you do in the day, You will have more energy. 2-It'll help you feel better through out the day 3-If you exercises in the evening, you'll come home from work tired and you'll have this as a excuse for not doing any exercises.

well early in the morning sems to be the best time to take an exercise..

in my opinion walking is the best excercise and you can do it anytime.have you read the book..why french women dont get fat..it tells you to eat food more slowly and to eat it in some portions which makes sense to me..ts not really about dieting..u can try surfing the net to find out, just type the title in the search engine

If you want to re-shape your body it is good. I will suggest that you do your regular exercise every morning when you wake-up then the next one will be ok around 5pm to 6pm. Also you have to be sure that you take your bath every morning and eveny after the exercise. preferable with cold water. Eat alot of vegetables and less fatty foods.

For execise, early morning is best. from my childhood, im listening to this from my parents, from family, and i himself also found that early morning is best time, ever out of total day. To start an excersise schedule, it is best time, before sunrise. Walking is always adviseble after dinner, but not after lunch. It is advisble to rest after lunch, as it helps you in the metabolism process.

I love to exercise. I get up early to work out every morning before work and then we have a gym here too at work, so I go down 3 days a week and walk for 30 minutes. Any bit helps especially if you're just starting out. I walk and run a lot. I would pace myself, if I were you. I would start out maybe 20 minutes a day until you exertion level escalates each day, then increase it to 30, then 45, then 60, and divvy up your plan. Do cardio for 30, then some weights (light) for the other 30 minutes. strength training burns more fat calories!

Yes, you should start off with just walking and get use to excercising. I think that it's good to walk in both the morning and evening. I doesn't matter which one if you only want to walk once a day.

I tend to stick to an exercise plan when I get up early and exercise. For a while, I went to the gym at 5:00 AM. This seems to be the time that works best for me. Prior to that, I attended a 6:00 AM aerobics class.

Most people choose early in the morning or later in the evening just for convenience. I think it all depends on the person. Just select the most comfortable and convenient time for you. Also check out this health tip: http://www.geocities.com/ulafrique/healthtips.html

its always good to walk, anytime is good but preferably morning time since u get more of oxygen tht time. and keeps u fresh , evening pollution is on high so its better time in morning. u must walk fast, brisk walking reduces more of a kilos. and finally eat less at nite means for dinner u must hv light food mainly salads or soups. it will help u a lot.

The best time to exercise is any time that works for you. For me the best time is after I get off work. Yes, I am tired from work, but exercise gives me more energy and it helps me to relax and get my mind off the day's problems. A good type of exercise for people who are out of shape is tai chi. It is slow and gentle but it is great for flexability, balance and getting into shape for something more strenuous. Also once you learn it you can do it any where any time - no equipment needed.

The best time to do excercise would be in the morning before you have breakfast, it is great to start with walking as you can go for an early morning walk with the pollution is not so bad, and then you could progress from that to some other excercising.

Greetings. Your metablic rate (rate at which you burn calories) will stay up for 3-4 hours after you exercise. Therefore, some feel that two rounds of exercise for a lesser amount of time each is a very good way to keep your metabolic rate up for a greater amount of time. (It is also easier since you tire easily at this point. )Why not walk 20 minutes (or as long as you can tolerate) mid morning and mid afternoon? Exercising right before bed is usually not recommended as it will make you 'wired' (according to most professionals). Best of luck to you with your exercise program! You have taken a very important first step by committing to do it!

Is there a best time of day to exercise? Research on lung funciton, body rhythms, temperature, and hormone levels says one thing - to exercise around 6 pm. Surveys on exercise habits say another - to exercise in the morning before other commitments distract you, or during the day when you have a free period of time. Let's explore the pros and cons of when to exercise. 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. noon and break time Pros: • Can make a habit to walk and exercise at lunch time and break time. • Can use a walking and exercise partner at work, school, or in your neighborhood. • Body temperature and hormone levels are higher than first thing in the morning. • Can help regulate the amount of food you feel like eating for lunch, can help you avoid break-time snacking. • I mproves blood flow to the brain so you are sharper in the afternoon. • Stress relief from work, school, or home stresses. Cons: • Time limits may not allow you to get in a full workout - any amount is good, but best if you can walk for 30-60 minutes or more at a stretch • Distractions and other commitments make keep you from walking and exercising at the appointed times. • Research shows that lung function is worst at noon. For an easy walk, you may not notice the difference. But for a vigorous workout or for those with lung problems, the 15-20% difference may be felt. Afternoon and After-Work Research shows afternoon (3-7 pm) to be the best time to exercise for both endurance and for building muscle Pros: • For most people, body temperature and hormone levels peak at 6 pm. Exercising 3 hours before or after the peak will give your your best workout for both endurance and building muscle. • Research shows lung function is best at 4-5 pm. • Muscles are warm and flexible. • Perceived exertion is lowest - how hard you feel yourself to be working at exercise. So you may be able to work out harder or faster by doing so in the afternoon. • Can help regulate the amount of food you feel like eating for dinner. • Stress relief after a day at work, school, or home. Cons: • Distractions and other commitments make keep you from walking and exercising at the appointed times. Evening Pros: • For most people, body temperature and hormone levels peak at 6 pm. Exercising 3 hours before or after the peak will give your your best workout for both endurance and building muscle. • Muscles are warm and flexible. • Perceived exertion is low - how hard you feel yourself to be working at exercise. So you may be able to work out harder or faster. • Can help regulate the amount of food you feel like eating for dinner. • Stress relief after a day at work, school, or home. Cons: • Distractions and other commitments make keep you from walking and exercising at the appointed times. • Need to allow one to three hours to wind down after walking or exercise to be able to fall asleep. • If you discover sleeping problems, need to schedule your workout earlier. • At dark times of the year, be sure to wear reflective gear. The Very Best Time The very best time to walk? Walking can only do you good if you doit. The best time to walk is the time that will fit best into your schedule so you can do it consistently. Experts agree - it is not the time of day that matters as much as finding the time you can set aside consistently for your workouts.

i think its early in the morining but for me it works more in the afternoon.. maybea round 4 or 5 pm.. i get alot more energy to start the excercise. im just starting so i dont knwo if it really benefited me.

That was best was the morning and in time the afternoon two at that time was time was best for berolah the body according to me, because that was carried out by us when playing sport was in the morning and in the afternoon moreover the burning calorie the remnants overnight, and time in the afternoon the burning calorie the remnants in the morning and during the day.

I had had the very fat body, previously my weight almost 75 kilo, I often experienced embarrassed, every time I close to my friends, I always in ridiculed by him, then I had my wish to want to prove to my friends, that I could then have the slim body, with my strong determination daily tried to continue reached what was wanted by me, with the conviction and do'a that every time was raised by me with sincere, his end my efforts produced results, with results my two weight months descended to 50 kilo, amazing very much would, the miracle came and now friends then are not that ridiculed again, I the suggestion would if you wanted really the diet, tried by means of that was natural, that is by means of sport in the middle of the day routinely and the electronics equipment could be used by you when tonight.

That would be the very first thing in the morning! You have no calories of the day to begin with so will be going negative calorie! Just be sure to drink plenty of water BEFORE and AFTER your exercise.

Early in the morning if it is arobic. That is the hardest type to stay with, I think. Once you get in the habit of adding it to your morning routine, it becomes easier. Your metabolism will be working in your favor during the day. If you are walking, I think you can do that anytime during the day. Maybe take several short walks or one long walk. I think if you put off exercising during the day, you might get to the end of it and not have time to do it. Or, by the end of the day, you might not have the energy to exercise. I have read of several stories on here about people losing lots of weight by just walking every day. Take it slow in the beginning and work up to a steady routine. I have heard from some sources that the best time to exercise is in the morning. It makes sense to me.
