Is it better to exercise in the morning or in the evening?

 

We all know that exercise keeps our body healthy and energetic, but it is often questioned what is the best time to exercise. Is it more beneficial to exercise in the morning or in the evening?

According to Indian Express, nutritionist Garima Goyal says that it depends on a person's personal preferences. He explained the benefits of exercising in the morning or evening.

Benefits of morning exercise

He says that research has shown that morning exercise helps build consistency. If you exercise in the morning, you will be more active throughout the day, but you will be tired in the evening.

Exercising in the morning leads to sound sleep at night.

Exercising on an empty stomach in the morning is better than exercising in the evening because it burns more fat. This happens because the body uses fat in the morning as fuel during exercise.

Exercising in the morning improves your mood throughout the day and makes you work more diligently and attentively.

According to Grima Goyal, 'some of the negative aspects of exercising in the morning are that you feel hungry. Body temperature is low and takes time to warm up. Most importantly, some people find that their energy levels are lower in the morning.

Exercise in the evening

Many people find that exercising in the evening is better because it builds muscle strength, flexibility and more strength. The body produces more testosterone which makes the muscles stronger.

Exercising in the evening relieves the stress of the whole day and leads to better sleep.

Grima Goyal says, "The best time to exercise is what feels best to you." Morning or evening does not matter but continuity is required. Exercise in the morning or in the evening, but one thing is certain that exercise makes us healthy.
