The Timing of Your Exercise

By Tanner Chetram


Do you know when the best time to exercise is for you? People often have difficulty discerning when exactly this might be. Deciding on the right time to work out can often be figured out by monitoring how you feel before and after the workout is done.

It is important that, when you exercise, you're consistent every day. People often see exceptional results when exercising, but only if it is consistent in its execution. Although variety is applicable in some situations, being consistent with your workouts and meals will certainly help you see significant gains. This is not about sticking to a schedule, and then never changing it again.

Maybe you will have a different shift at your job, which means your workout routines must be modified. Your workout schedule may have to adapt to the seasons in your area as the climate begins to shift. The benefits of your exercise routine will certainly be seen if you go for 30 days, or more, with the same schedule. It's about sticking to a routine, getting used to it, and excelling with that exercise program the best that you can.

Perhaps your work hours will change, which might be out of your control. You may also want to alter your workout schedule to fit the seasons in your area. If you can stick to your schedule for at least a month, then you will see some definite gains. Once you are used to your exercise routine, then you can get the maximum benefits with each session. A popular time of day for many individuals to do their workouts is in the afternoon. There are people out there who are full of vim and vinegar early in the morning, but if you aren't one of them, your best time to exercise will probably be in the late afternoon. Unless you've had a carbohydrate dense lunch, with little protein, your energy level may be at its peak in the late afternoon. That's when your body temperature and hormones are at their highest levels. For those of you who work a regular day shift, getting off of work at 5pm or 6pm, a good habit is to head for the gym and do your workout before you head home for dinner. Not only will you usually have more energy, but the workout can rid your body of work-related stress.

Exercising at all, is a challenge for a lot of people. Sometimes the only thing you can do is fit your exercise in, when you have any time to spare. Some people actually have lots of free time, and for them, when they feel the best is a good time to work out. Any time you have a lot of responsibilities, it can make it tough to find the time. You might want to begin a different exercise program, but before you do, make sure you have the free time necessary. A lot of times, you have several different ones you can choose from, and when this is the case, take the one that works best for you. If the only time you can workout is between dinner and work, that would be your best time, but if it was before breakfast, then it would be then.

In conclusion, the best way to find the best time to do your exercise routine is to try out many different time slots. Unless you have heard differently, understand that each person works out best at a time that works best for them. You also can't ignore the limits imposed on you by your job or other responsibilities. The tips in this article should provide you with a general guideline as to how you can set up your exercise routine on a daily basis at the best time slot possible for you.
