When to Work Out

Question:

Aye Tony  I have a question ..after eating all that good nutrients and stuff..is it bad to workout at night? Cause I workout from 6:30-8pm..



Answer:

Workout time really comes down to personal preference and there isn't a real difference in what time you work out.  I personally like to work out in the morning and here are a few reasons why i prefer it over working out at night.

- I have more energy in the morning
- Working out boosts metabolic rate so i get that advantage for more of the day.
- Working out at night can leave you jittery and can cause difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep.

There is honestly not much of a difference between working out at night or in the morning - it all comes down to preference.  Ideally however, i believe that it is beneficial to workout after eating at least one meal so your body has a source of energy for the workout which can lead to greater workout performance and more calories burned.
