Morning vs Night Workout

3/13 Edited to

... Read moreIn my personal fitness journey, I've found that choosing between morning and night workouts largely depends on your lifestyle and goals. Morning workouts are fantastic for fat burning because exercising on an empty stomach boosts your metabolism all day long. This means that even after you've finished, your body continues to burn calories more efficiently. If weight loss is your main goal, hitting the gym or doing bodyweight exercises early can really make a difference. On the other hand, evening workouts have some unique advantages. According to research, your muscles are approximately 30% stronger in the evening due to increased body temperature and better joint flexibility, which also reduces injury risk. This strength boost means that night workouts can be more effective for muscle building and strength training. Plus, working out before bedtime has helped me enjoy deeper, more restful sleep since it helps regulate body temperature and makes it easier to fall asleep faster. What’s really promising is the simple practice of doing 50 squats before bed — it doesn’t just contribute to muscle tone but also promotes better sleep quality, as was highlighted in my experience and many others. Tracking progress using apps like Repscroll helps maintain consistency, which is ultimately more important than the time of day you choose. Whether you prefer morning energy or evening strength, the key takeaway is to pick a time that fits your schedule and motivates you to stay consistent. Your body adapts well to regular workouts at any time, so the best workout time is the one you'll actually stick to.

I think dividing the exercises up between morning and night before bed. I would concentrate on doing the squats at night. Take a walk on my breaks at work and then again after work - work on building up to 10K steps a day. I'm a beginner at 63 years old. 🙂🏋‍♀️🙃
