THIS Is The Best Time of the Day For You To Work Out

A good workout not only helps you keep fit and healthy physically but is also good for your mental health. Apart from regulating your heart health, cholesterol and blood pressure levels, insulin, weight, and sleep parameters, exercising daily can balance your mood and make you extremely happy and energized.

While both evening and morning workouts have their advantages, exercising in the evenings reduces the risk of early death and manages blood sugar levels. But if you are a morning person, your workouts can help improve heart health.

Studies say if you work out early in the day, you may immensely benefit your cardiovascular health and improve sleep quality, apart from losing weight. If you exercise between 7 and 9 a.m., you will have a lower body mass index, or BMI, than those who work out in the evenings or at night. Another piece of research says that working out at 7 a.m. helps you get regular, uninterrupted sleep.

Morning movement also helps lower blood pressure levels by at least 10 per cent.

According to experts, even though you may be able to align your workout schedules with your job or studies, waking up early can be challenging.

Doctors say morning workouts also make you more prone to injuries, as you may not have more time to warm up before starting with a vigorous exercise schedule. Your body temperature is at its lowest in the mornings, so you may need a longer warm-up routine to prepare your body for exercise.

Warm-up exercises like high knees or light jogging widen blood vessels and send oxygen to muscles, improving flexibility and efficiency and reducing stress on the heart.

Doctors say those who are obese or overweight should try to exercise in the evening, as they are 28 per cent less likely to die of any cause. According to various studies, evening exercise helps in better regulation of blood sugar—especially in those with insulin resistance. Exercising after a meal helps reduce glucose levels.

Many who exercise in the evening after getting off work also feel more relaxed and de-stressed. Evening workouts also promote slightly longer sleep and lead people to go to bed earlier.

Even though it helps you relax, for many people, evening workouts have the opposite effect, as they could find it difficult to sleep. Experts believe that for many, evening workouts can also reduce the amount of time you spend sleeping.

Evidence shows that the time of day does not matter as long as you are consistent and regular. And so, the best time to work out depends on your preferences, goals, and schedule. Always make sure to consider your energy levels, sleep patterns, and personal preferences before deciding when to exercise.

If you work out outdoors, the season and outside temperature can also influence your decision.
