Time For Working Out



Recommended Posts

Hi

Am 5 weeks post-op. I started working out at the gym about 2 weeks ago. I prefer early morning because am so busy during the day.

My question is: is there a prime time for working out? I mean do we burn more if we work out at specific time of the day? Morning? Afternoon? Evening?

I am a early morning person as well. I get the bulk of my workout in before work, after work I walk with my dogs for about 45 minutes for a total of about 1 and a half hour work out. I don't think that there is any one better time than another, I am no expert but I do what works for me and my schedule. Its better than no exercise at all. I think you will stick with something that is easily in your schedule.

I do not think it matter what time you work out, what matters it that you work out. I do mine mostly from late afternoon (4:00) to anywhere as late as 10:00. It all depends on the day, where I am working out etc. I think the biggest thing is to just keep doing something and eventually increasing what you are doing, either with increased time, reps, resistance, strength etc. So just find a time every day that you can work out and do it. It is great if you can find the same time everyday to make it a ritual or habit, but I find I can't do that, but I do find time daily, with a few rare exceptions to exrecise at least 30 minutes a day.

Good Luck on finding what works for you, and do not give up!

Yeah, am a morning person too. I teach early twice a week so I don't workout these days. The other days, I go to the gym at 6:30, work out for 40 mins on the treadmill.

I think you're right. I'll keep doing it this way coz it's best for me & my schedule.

Hi' date='

According to me working out early in the morning is a better idea rather then in the evening. I have heard that early in the morning, going out for walks helps alot to burn fats and will keep you fit.[/quote']

Yeah, that's what I do too & am enjoying it
