When should you exercise
Your Body's Best Time to Exercise
When it comes to working out, all hours of the day are not created equal
Morning
The morning is the best time for doing yoga. Your ability to perform is lowest in the morning; better to keep your exercise less intense in the am hours. Good news is you can go for longer. When your core temperature gets high, fatigue sets in. Your inner thermometer is lowest in the morning, so it will take you longer to overheat.
Afternoon
The afternoon is the best time for smashing the competition. You have more accuracy in the afternoon so around 2pm your tennis serve will be at its most precise. It’s easiest to get energised and your focus will be sharpest.
Evening
The evenings are best for getting strong. Your body temperature is highest in the early evening, so your muscles will warm up more easily and you can work harder.
This is also the best time for explosive movements, so if you need to score a goal for example this time would be your best bet.










The best time of day to exercise if you want to loose weight, is in the morning. If it's impossible for me to hit the gym in the morning, will it take me longer to loose the weight if I go in the evening?
