When is the best time to workout?
Many popular diets insist that the best time to exercise is first thing in the morning, before you eat breakfast. The theory is that your body doesn’t have the fuel it needs to complete the exercise, so if goes to the only source of energy it has…your stored body fat. There are two problems with this theory…
1)All that matters when it comes to weight loss is total caloric intake. Are you eating less than you burn. If so, you will lose weight…simple as that. Your body can’t tell time.
2)You need energy to exercise. And to have that energy, your body needs food. If you exercise before eating, you will not perform as well and your workout will suffer.
So what is really the best time to exercise? The simplest answer? Whenever you will do it. Are you a morning person? If so workout in the morning. Are you a night owl? If so, you are better off exercising at night. If you need to do it on your lunch break, do it the. Do whatever works for you.
