When is best time to exercise, morning or afternoon?

It all depends on you really I find early mornings work but some people are not morning people. Try both then see what works for you. some days I cannot face getting up at 6am to go to the gym others I'm up and raring to go.
Good luck with finding your way and feel free to send me an friend request x

It's an individual thing, and can even vary between exercises. Sounds weird, I know. As an example though, my deadlifts tend to be really strong in the mornings, whereas my squats suck complete *kitten* if I try to hit them before lunchtime or so.

Whatever time works for you is fine. The time of day doesn't have anything to do with calories burned or any of that nonsense. Just pick a time you like and do it, and keep doing it.

I personally like mornings and early afternoons, but have had to squeeze in workouts later on several occasions. It was ok, just more difficult for me as I don't typically have high energy levels as the day wears on into evening. I'm in eat/relax/sleep mode after about 5pm, so I find working out later to be challenging. Other people prefer to work out in the evenings.

You can exercise any time you want.I break it up to twice a day, morning and evening.This works for me.You have to see what works for you.You can burn 20% more fat if you exercise empty stomach in the morning, but it depends on you.Exercising any time is beneficial for health, you don't have to disturb your sleep cycle.

My trainer recommended not eating right before to give the digestive fluids time to settle down especially if you are doing intense cardio and as far as after the workout she recommended a protein within 45 mins of finishing the workout to fuel the muscles. It could be a shake, a bar, an apple with peanut butter whatever you enjoy. Me personally I push the protein on heavy lift days because I'm usually ravenous!! Hope this helps

Anytime is a good time. Whatever works into your schedule. For me personally, I do it first thing in the morning (5:30 AM), I get it done before i go to work, because I know that if i wait until i get home in the evening there is a possibility that I may not do it. I also feel great when my workout is done, and its a good jump start to my day. The feeling after a work out for me is better then any kind of a rush i used to get from a binge of junk food lol. Whoever though I would say that..?? lol...its amazing how eating healthy and exercise can make you feel so AWESOME!!

i prefer to exercise early in the morning. if i do that, i usually eat after. i like coffee in the morning and not usually hungry. but because of my work schedule, it is not always possible. so i will eat a protein bar and go to the gym after work when i can. i have a funny habit of not feeling hungry on my way to the gym. but once i get on a machine, i feel like im starving. and when im at work, i try to drink a bottle or two of water in the afternoons before i leave.

i do agree that if i exercise early, i feel like its a job and i get it out of the way to start my day. it gives me energy to do other things and if i decide to eat out or poorly that day, i have the extra calories banked for those meals. me and my fiance typically eat out over the weekends. and if i dont and eat good, its just a bonus.

Whenever you like to workout.

There may be some slight benefits for fat loss before eating, but nowhere near the benefit of exercising when you want to exercise so you make the best effort etc.

Depends how I feel. I like morning workouts because it gives me the rest of the day to get other things done and such.

Not a big fan of afternoon workouts but I like working out at night (between 6 and 9pm).

Also depends on what my work/uni timetable is like

I prefer to work out in the morning, very early. But, it is up to you

Ideally the best time is in the morning and before you eat. I am a keen cyclist and lose more weight in the summer because I ride early morning and eat after I get back. I find that my weight loss is about 3 times faster. The same if I walk the dog in the winter before breakfast. It kick starts the metabloism and starts the fat burning process ao as we eat we continue to burn fat rather than store it.
In the winter as I excercise less, the weight loss slows. I hope this helps you )

This is usually a general topic in fitness magazines and I've heard both but the bottom line is anytime is better than no time so pick a schedule that works for you and work out :-) I rotate 3 shifts so some days I work out mornings and sometimes evening but as long as I get in a workout I feel amazing afterwards no matter the time of day. Sometimes when I know I can't make it to the gym I walk on my fifteen minute breaks at work...every little bit counts so just get your body moving, have fun, eat right, and watch the pounds slip away.....haha now only if I can listen to my words on the eat right part...easier said then done for me :-P but we can do it!!!!

I really think it depends on what works best for you. Personally, I find I prefer working out in the afternoon, although the daycare at my gym breaks from 1pm-4pm, so I usually go in the early evening. I'd love to go in the morning, but even when my toddler's sleep schedule allows for it, I just don't have the same energy. I find when I go in the morning that I don't have as much gusto or stamina as I do in the afternoon or evening, and I feel like that has an impact on the kind of workout I get.

Bottom line- do what works best for your mind/body and schedule!
