Optimal Exercise Timing for Best Results
Summary:
Choosing the right time of day for exercise is more crucial than it seems. The optimal timing depends on several factors for maximizing effectiveness.
Best Times to Exercise
Deciding when to exercise isn't as simple as picking any hour. It's essential to avoid the three-hour window after meals due to digestion. During this time, muscle exertion should be minimized because the body prioritizes digestion, not redirecting blood to muscles.
Exercise is best when your stomach is empty, yet your blood sugar remains stable. For those with a typical sleep-wake cycle, two ideal exercise times are 10 AM to 12 PM, and 4 PM to 7 PM. These periods are widely recognized by sports professionals for their effectiveness in training.
Why These Times Work
Another reason for choosing these intervals is body temperature, reaching its peak during these hours. The late afternoon (4 PM to 7 PM) is particularly advantageous as the higher body temperature can enhance athletic performance.
Morning and Evening Considerations
Training too early, right after waking and before breakfast, is generally not recommended. Although this can lead to quicker fat burning due to low glycogen reserves, it also risks muscle loss because of elevated stress hormones like cortisol. Additionally, cooler body temperatures in the early morning make it difficult to engage fully in activities requiring strength, endurance, speed, and flexibility, necessitating longer warm-ups.
Exercising just before bedtime is also discouraged. It can interfere with sleep due to increased brain and body activity.
Customizing Your Routine
This schedule can adapt to various lifestyles and time zones. Once a routine becomes a habit, the efficiency and benefits of your workouts will likely improve.
