The Best Time to Exercise
The best time to exercise is about eight to nine hours after waking, which is early to mid afternoon for most people. This is because physical performance is at its peak during this time, aligned with the body clock. Athletes, especially those in their early 20s, tend to break world records in the early evening when their body clock peaks. For the average person, the best exercise time is in the early to mid afternoon as well. This is because our bodies take time to warm up throughout the day, and vigorous exercise in the morning increases the risk of injury. However, any exercise is beneficial, and more exercise is still good even if done at a different time of day.
