The Best time to exercise!

As I squat down to catch my breath after a butt-kicking set of "deadlift," I'm going to answer a question I get asked at least once a week.

What is the best time to exercise?

The best time to exercise is whatever time you can consistently fit into your schedule.Don't get caught up in a pattern where you're exercising in the morning one day, mid-afternoon the next, then squeezing in an evening workout the following days.It is best to get into a consistent pattern.

I generally encourage clients to try to fit exercise into their morning routine. I can tell you that morning exercisers are simply more successful at sticking with their program for the long haul. Morning exercise becomes a lifestyle. Exercising before you head off to work allows you to start the day feeling spectacular.

You feel productive and ready to take on the challenge of the day. You may say, "Cavakia, I'm not a morning person. I have to be at work at eight o'clock and there's no way I'm getting up at 5:00 or 6:00am to exercise." Every once in a while I'll get this responce. That's okay. Then get your workout in later on. Maybe over thelunchhour or right after work. But I'll tell you that you will generally run into more issues that make it easy to miss workouts if you try to schedule it later in theday. When the day gets busy and push comes to shove, your evening exercise sessions will likely be disrupted.

Here are some facts that will help you pick the right exercise time for you: Morning exercise allows you to maximize the benefits of something exercise physiologists call EPOC. EPOC stands for "excess post-exercise oxygen consumption." Research shows that exercise increases your resting metabolic rate to varying degrees. People seem to maximize this effect when exercising in the morning.

Lunchtime or afternoon exercise, if it can be squeezed in, will generally help you avoid the mid-afternoon energy dip which naturally plagues human due to our circadian rhythms. The only thing that I can think of that's really beneficial about evening exercise is the social implications. Generally evening exercisers are a more social crowd.

Want to meet someone special in the gym, than a bar? Evening exercise will maximize your chances. I should also mention that you probably do not want to workout too late at night. Late-evening exercisemay interfere with your ability to sleep for several hours after the workout. Of course, if you feel that you need more energy in the evenings, exercising right after work may be a good option for you. Test it and see what works best for you. Everyone is a little different in regards to how exercise effects theirability to sleep.
