Is it better to working early in the morning/evening/night and why

Your body is most ready to workout within 10 hours of waking. However, jobs and other obligations rarely conform to this schedule.

I've found that later in the day I am much stronger. That is way I like to train in the evening.

[icemike16]

I like the morning.

It depends on your sleeping habits and activity while awake.

People can work shifts, some may have less laborious work and so forth.

I work out during the evening; around 6:30 pm. I have seen much better performance around this time of the day.

[ThickAsABrick]

yes

[Jake57]

I think everyone is different. I like to do cardio in the mornings, but lifting is better in the p.m.

[Hallock]

If I trained in the morning I'd probably end up killing myself with weight plates because I'm so groggy.

[I_love_crows]

yes

Nice...

[papi93]

A lot of votes for the morning...yet no reasons.

[tbush]

there's less people in the gym in the morning, i'm not worn out from the day, and it's easier to routinely go in the morning so nothing can come up during the day that could cause me to miss working out (i.e. working in the studio after hours, meeting with professors, meeting with people to study, etc.)

higher t-levels

I hate working out early though

higher t-levels

I hate working out early though

Can't possibly be high enough to make a major difference, can it?

Anyway, I tried for a full month to work out in the morning. I struggled every day and never felt satisfied with my workouts. I went back to the evening and within the week all my lifts (as compared to my morning workouts) were up about 40% (back to my evening workout level) and I felt much better.

To each their own, though.

[ThickAsABrick]

Dunno.
I don't work out in the morning either. Tried it, hated it, changed.

I do PT in the morning (light muscle "failure" calisthenics and a short run) then hit the weights in the afternoon after work. ON the weekends I just do the midafternoon. I think I get the most strength out of me in the evening but that is more mindset based cause if I kill myself in the morning I will be a little "out there" for the rest of the day.

It's evening (after dinner) for me.

I get home from work, have a quick dinner, rest, then i head to the gym around 7:45.

I work out at night partly because there's nothing ever good on TV and I don't want to stay home and do nothing all night.

[arthurcc]

I go at night because i have school. I eat, wait a bit then at 6:30 ish i go to gym for 1.5-2 hours.

I go at night due to the sceduale that i have, but on Saturday i go in morning before the day is filled.

You'll get as many responses as you will to the question "what type of routine do you do?", as every answer is valid for group X with circumstances Y. What works best for you is a trial and error exercise.

Hey guys, this is my 1st post on this site.

I normally do cardio in the morning and then weights in the afternoon. I think the person who said it depends on people is correct.

I find it that working out early evening is the best for me.

I feel strange as I'm a totally newbie and I guess most of you are beefed up. Good luck to u all.

[Lector606]

I much prefer training in the morning. It makes me feel great throughout the day.

[yabbayabba]

I worked out in the morning before I left to go home for spring break. That work out sucked, the later in the day the more I feel like lifting.

[rogan181]

if you've ever lifted after a great sleep on a saturday morning nothign beats it imo...go to sleep aroudn 11 on firday wake up 11 on saturday eat breakfast and work otu till 1, soo good

[CRyan64]

i workout @ 11 @ school. I would prefer between 12-4pm, tho. Just cuz i am fully awake by then.

[djartek]

it all depends on your schedule and your body. If your body gets used to working out a certain time then you body will always be ready to work out at that time whether it be morning, noon, or night. It would be nice to workout in the morning but then I'd hate to go to work and do anything else. I workout at about 4:30ish and saturday's in the late morning.

[Namelessking]

Im a morning person so I have no problem lifting a hour after I wake up... Plus there is only like 15 people in the morning mostly on cardio where at night you might as well take a number for anything

[Celty]

well i'd say the evening I feel better working out and can put everything into it. But I'd say if you are a morning person do it in the morning so that you can load up on food after and not worry about it being stored as fat while you sleep

[Rane14]

i like working out after skewl

[knightowl]

In the morning your test levels are high .

In the evening pain tolerance is higher than morning.

the best time : depends on you .... midday would be the best of both worlds if you can do it .

[Delgadido]

oh wow. testosterone lvlz are high in the morning? i did not know that. hmm.. i always felt comfy having a couple of meals b4 working out
