Exercise Podcasts Give Flexibility to Your Work Out Time

What is the best time of day for exercise? Some of us are early risers while others can't get out of bed a second earlier than we absolutely have to. So does it matter what time of the day we set aside for exercise?

This is a commonly asked question. The simple answer is this... whenever you can find the time and will be committed to doing exercise on a consistent basis... you have found the "best time"! There is no “rule” about this that applies to everyone. Your personal preferences, energy level and schedule will determine what the best time is for you.

Exercise in the morning can be a great way to jump start your day. Many people find they are most consistent when they do it first thing; as the day wears on it can become difficult to carve out the time. Although getting up early can be challenging at first, you will be surprised how easily this can become a habit and how much more energized you feel during the day.

But morning workouts don't have to fall into a rut. You don't have to head to the gym every morning. You can choose to follow a quiet yoga podcast workout while taking in the fresh air at a local park, or enjoy one of Make It Fit's high-powered cycling classes from the comfortable seat of your stationary bike. There are numerous options to get you going, on your own pace in the morning.

Mid day exercise can be advantageous because you may have more energy for the afternoon, be more alert and have time to properly fuel yourself for the exercise session. Also, exercise can be a great mid day snack suppressant. People who exercise during a lunch break at work often eat healthier and more moderate portions for lunch, which serves as an extra benefit.

Evening workouts help to put a long day behind you and relieve stress. Some people find this is the time when they have the most energy and feel most ready for exercise. Evening workouts also encourage you to eat a smaller, healthier dinners. Remember that exercise is a stimulant, so be sure to end your workouts 1 -3 hours before bedtime so as not to affect your ability to fall asleep.
