gwennebe Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Is it best to work out in the Am or PM or does it matter? I'm tired of going to my gym at night and need a change. Tired of the same old people everyday.
Naive Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I don't work out at all, but I hear that when you exercise in the morning it gives you energy throughout the whole day.

I think it's best to work out early in morning - by the end of the day your body is gearing down to rest. Haven't seen DudeSomeWhere on here in a while - he'd know the right answer & be able to give you all the medical data to back it up.
Stone Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 I work out at night because it fits my schedule better, but after I have alot of energy and stay up all night. Try taking a jog early in the morning or something.
jesusfist Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 It all depends on what you goal is, are you trying to build muscle? - then workout in the afternoon when your glycogen levels are high. However if your just working out to stay in shape, tone up, etc - then working out in the morning is probably the best because it jacks up your metabolism for the rest of the day, which will make you feel more awake and energized aswell as aid with fat burning.
Author gwennebe Posted October 27, 2004 Author Posted October 27, 2004 Thanks for the advice everyone. I tried working out this morning at like 6:00 AM ughhh. It sucks getting up but I think I will get more benefit from it. I'm just trying to slim down and tone up a little. At least this way if I can't make it in the morning I can still go after work.
faux Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 I prefer to work out in the early evening, as this is when the muscles in the human body tend to be at their peak efficiency.
sinkerswim Posted October 29, 2004 Posted October 29, 2004 I work out in the PM.... Only because I dont have time in morning.. As long as you work out..you should be ok...either morning or night!
