May it be working out inside gyms or just doing some simple exercises inside your home can be both hard. It is not just the workouts or exercise itself that could be physically challenging, but also how you would try to juggle things up so you could have time for it.
Given this reason, it is crucial to know whether the efforts you're putting into it are worthy or not. Are you working out during the best time to burn your calories and fats? What does science say about it?
MORNING WORKOUTS
Anthony Hackney, Professor in the Department of Exercise and Sports Science at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, said, "In the early morning hours, you have a hormonal profile that would predispose you to better metabolism of fat."
Working out in the morning would also mean working out on an empty stomach, as reported by TIME. Experts say that without the presence of food, the body tends to burn stored fat, which is its only source for energy.
Aside from that, the body tends to have high levels of growth hormones and cortisol. Since these hormones are both involved in metabolism, you are most likely to lose more fats and calories so your body can work double time.
Working out early in the morning can also push your body to become more productive during the day as your body becomes more alert. In the evening, however, your body tends to become tired easily, giving you a good night sleep and recharged body the next morning.
AFTERNOON OR EVENING WORKOUTS
Experts say morning workouts can be very beneficial to the body. Despite that, there is still some evidence that shows how late afternoons or early evening exercise are still the best especially when it comes to building muscles, and maximizing and increasing strength.
The reason behind this effect is the fact that the body is warmer during this time and muscles are more ready to be at work. Some studies also proved that testosterone levels, which are hormones responsible for building muscles, are high during the late afternoon, according to Forza Supplements.
CONCLUSION
Both morning and late afternoon or evening workouts are beneficial to the body. No matter how the body will able to respond to it, the bottom line is that you are trying to burn those fats and be healthy. At the end of the day, your body will surely thank you for it.
