Oh, the age-old question—is it better to workout in the morning or at night? There are those who workout as soon as the sun rises and those who prefer working out when the sun has already set. So, which one is better? We’re here to settle the debate once and for all.
Morning Workouts
More Consistent
It’s easier to stay consistent with your workouts if you do them first thing in the morning. Throughout the day, you’re more likely to have other responsibilities that can get in the way of exercising.
Get In Better Shape
While it’s not clear how it works, exercising before noon can help you get in better shape. It may be because working out in the morning sets the tone for the rest of the day and it helps you make better choices when it comes to eating throughout the day.
Less Likely to Affect Your Sleep
Exercising during the day helps you sleep better at night, but when you exercise at night, it can give you a burst of energy, making it harder to fall asleep.
Night Workouts
More Alert
When you’re tired it can affect your coordination and endurance, making workout out in the morning sometimes harder, potentially leading to injury.
Relieve Stress
Working out at night can help you relieve all the stress you’ve had throughout the day for a healthy outlet.
Better Workouts
Because your core body temperature is already warmed up during the day, you’re already warmed up, which can lead to longer and better workouts.
Which is Better?
It turns out, there isn’t a better time to workout. The best time is when you have time in your schedule. After you’ve found a time that works for you, keep to it to establish a routine.
