If your goal for 2020 is to exercise more, you might be wondering exactly what the best workout for you is – and how to make the most of the limited time you have. Depending on your body clock – whether you're an early riser or a night owl – you could find that you have more success by switching up your usual gym routine.
We spoke with Dr. Kianoush Missaghi, Training Specialist at leading fitness app, Freeletics, about the best time to exercise efficiently – so you can spend less time in the gym...Most consider working out first thing in the morning the best way to begin an exercise regime, and they wouldn't be wrong - if you can manage to make it out of bed early, that is.
However, Dr. Kianoush says you shouldn't rush into it. 'Running is quite a demanding exercise, and your muscles can be stiffer following a good night’s sleep; for that reason, it’s important that you warm up properly to prevent injury.''You may also be likely to workout in the morning on an empty stomach, and for that reason, low intensity cardiovascular exercise is recommended as your body won’t draw energy from your muscles, which could result in a loss of muscle mass.
'The endorphins and adrenaline that flows through your body post-run can also help to wake you up, put you in a good mood, and set the tone for the rest of day.''If you’re a lunch time exerciser it’s likely you’ll be short on time, squeezing in a workout during the working day or in between running errands,' says Dr. Kianoush.
'This, in turn, boosts your metabolism and burns more calories. HIIT workouts can also help to boost your productivity and energy levels, getting you through the rest of the day, and helping to avoid mid-afternoon energy slumps.'If you're more of an evening person, you might want to tailor your exercise regime to get the most out of that 8pm session.
