Exercice, when?

ETA: Sorry, I should at least contribute something for the OP. The time of day you exercise shouldn't have the impact you are attributing to it. Keep doing what fits in your day. It's only been a week. Weight loss stalls for any number of reasons.0

Frequently, throughout the day is good.
I walk as part of my commute morning and evening.
I walk at lunch.
I climb 25 flights of stairs in 5 stair batches throughout the day.
If I don't have a mountain of homework in the evening, I walk or cycle or something in the evening.0 -
Not sure how accurate this is but could there be issues with lifting weights first thing?
My understanding is your spine becomes more hydrated at night and early morning there is greater risk of injury.
Probably not an issue if doing cardio/body weight exercises.
I've been lifting heavy at 5 am for the past year with no issues. This is the first I'm hearing about spinal hydration. Do you have a source for this information ?
Just make sure to warm up properly and stretch and you should be good to go op.
I did say I'm not sure how accurate it is. Just something I had heard. Unsure where originally.
Just googled spine hydration at night.
First results mentions giving you an hour before lifting stuff. So it isn't something I made up. But still not claiming it to be true or accurate.

Let me see if there is a better site. Something a bit more scientific or reputable.0 -

Start a thread and no, that's normal daily activity.
That's a big presumption that everyone has sex.

It's not a presumption about people having sex. It's commentary on the fact that it just falls into daily burn. I would argue no one is having sex that burns such a substantial number of calories that it needs to be logged.0 -

You need a Pavlok!0 -
I try to exercise first thing in the morning, that way I feel like I got that off my shoulders for the rest of the day. Also my daily goal is to do HIIT (high intensity interval training) for 5 minutes only, so I HAVE to workout no matter what, but If I do not feel like doing a full workout, I just do the 5 min requirement (anyone should be able to workout for 5 minutes), however I almost always end up doing 30-45 minutes of HIIT. Nice way to trick your brain into the workout zone and then let your inner strength do the rest !0

Uh oh, I'm in trouble cause I've been weight lifting before 6 am for years, and no problems yet. 0 -

Do you wake up like 530 or later and are lifting weights by 6?
Also I did say increased risk. Not 100% guaranteed 0 -

Is it possible that, having switched your order, you are now eating a little bit more at dinner than you were before?

I lift first thing in the morning and have for 2 years with no issue. I'm up around 4:30 and lifting by 5:10.
As said previously, workout whenever you can and with whatever works best for your schedule.0 -
