The Best Time To Exercise

We all know the importance of exercise as a healthy habit. But what’s the best time to exercise? Research has shown that morning, afternoon, or evening workouts have their own benefits. When you work out in the morning, you burn more fat. In fact, those who start their exercise routine on an empty stomach can burn about 20 percent more body fat than those exercising later in the day. Morning exercise also helps many people sleep better at night.

Afternoon or evening workouts can also bring benefits. Remember that your temperature is the highest between 2 p.m and 6 p.m. This temperature helps increase your muscle strength and endurance. In the afternoon or evening, your reaction time is at its quickest, while your heart rate and blood pressure are the lowest. Exercising at this time decreases your chances of injury while improving your performance. So, depending on your schedule and preferences, you can choose the best time to work out.

Question 1. What of the following is a benefit of a morning workout?

A. You gain more body fat.                      B. You put on weight.
