lili2012 85 Posted September 26, 2012 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?

Yolyann 56 Posted September 26, 2012 Thats a great question. My doctor still has not cleared my to go to the gym. I'm 6weeks out I see him friday and hope I get the go ahead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted September 26, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ellie_Grace 271 Posted September 26, 2012 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! 1 BBdoodle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

lili2012 85 Posted October 17, 2012 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 Sent from my Galaxy S III using RNYTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
