When To Workout

When Do You Workout?

Does it matter what time of day you workout? Some people contend that morning workouts are the best, while others swear by working out in the evenings. Ultimately, there's no right or wrong time to work out. It all depends on you.

The best time for you to work out is when you're most likely to do it and it still be effective. If you have to drag yourself to the gym after work when you'd rather be going home, you're already not in the right frame of mind to engage in an effective workout. However, some people get into that active mentality after a few minutes of warming up.

On the other hand, many people swear by morning workouts because they can get you energized, setting a positive tone for the rest of the day. Some people also like to get their workouts out of the way, which is why they go first thing in the morning.

The bottom line is this: workout when you have time and are fully alert (as to not cause any injuries). If that time just happens to be at 3:00 in the morning, that's fine - luckily, there are 24 hour gyms!
