So, let's find out: When is the best time to exercise?

Morning

If it's logical, there are many benefits of exercising in the morning.

In addition, you don't have to worry about exercising in the afternoon or at night. This can be a relief, leaves time to cook dinner, socialize with friends, and just relax.

Benefits According to Science

Studies support the idea of exercising in the morning. A study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise evaluates how women respond to food after exercising in the morning. When participants - those who are overweight, and those who are obese - walk fast for 45 minutes, they are not too disturbed by photos of food that look delicious compared to those who don't exercise at all.

Based on activity this morning, on the days of the participants exercising in the morning, they also increase their physical activity throughout the day more than their days without exercising in the morning. Additional benefits of exercising in the morning include increasing metabolism, which means you will continue to burn calories throughout the day when you consume them instead of at night while you are sleeping.

Another reason to exercise in the morning? Studies suggest that improving your fitness regime at night can interfere with your sleep. Exercise increases your heart rate and body temperature. That means that late night sweat sessions can inhibit your ability to sleep. Studies have shown that exercise at 7 am, compared to the afternoon or evening, can help individuals get better quality sleep at night.

One more argument that makes it a reason to exercise in the morning is that exercising with an empty stomach can burn more fat. Exercise can burn up to 20 percent more body fat when going to the gym with an empty belly. This is a much more accomplished feat in the morning, before breakfast, than after a full day in which you have to eat regularly!

The case for exercise in the afternoon and evening continues. In the afternoon and evening, your reaction time is the fastest, which is important for exercises such as high intensity interval (HIIT) exercise, or speed exercise above the treadmill. In the afternoon is also the lowest of your heart rate and blood pressure, which reduces the possibility of injury while improving performance.

While some may warn individuals about how exercising at night can interfere with your sleep, one study even finds that those who lift weights at night get better sleep quality and sleep longer than those who do the same exercise in the morning.

Then which one is the best?
