I'm a few days into my Fitness Plan and today I wondered what time of the day is the best time to workout? After researching online, I've found that anytime is a great time! :)
Each part of the day offers a great perk:
Statistics say that those who exercise in the morning before work, life, and having your social calendar get in the way, are more likely to stick to their fitness plan. Morning workouts jump start your metabolism. Be sure to eat a healthy breakfast to keep your body from storing fat.
Those who work out Mid Morning are most likely to set themselves up for healthy Lunch and make better food choices throughout the day. Working out helps curb the production of the hunger hormone ghrelin to help keep carb cravings and your sweet tooth under control.
Exercising provides extra blood flow to the brain, bringing a fresh supply of oxygen and nutrients to the brain's neurons. Hormones are spiked to help improve concentration and reasoning skills. You'll feel revived and energized right through that 3 o'clock slump! :)
Working out in the Afternoon helps optimize your ciradian rhythms, helping you sleep better at night. Having your body's internal clock on point is a big factor in helping prevent disease such as Cancer and Diabetes.
The hormone Testosterone is at it's highest in the evening, boosting your strength training results. Your body is also at it's highest temperature during the late afternoon/evening making your muscles a lot more flexible. Working out will feel easier on your body during this time. :)
Though an intense workout late at night might make it hard to fall asleep, exercise is a perfect way to destress. Yoga is a perfect workout to do right before bed. Deep breathing will reduce anxieties and stress. Yoga also helps lower cortisol levels making it easy to drift off to sleep.
Feeling like it's too early or too late for that workout?
;)
Have a great workout! ♥
