If cardio, I do it in the morning before I eat anything. Pero if lifting, mga lunch time after I've eaten breakfast

[Hugh_Jorgasm]

Right after work so I can release stress while pumping iron.

Weight training in the morning. Cardio in the afternoon.

[Darthaniel07]

When I get home most of the time. Just stretching and light weights.

[Admiral Kunkka]

Anytime since there's no definite time when I'm gonna come home.

Ok this might be too nit-picky for some but let me chime in

MORNING advantage is correlation to CONSISTENCY. Research has found that people who exercise before their day starts have higher scores in following their programs.

 

Imagine mo na lng.

Gising ka ng mas maaga. Nag exercise then pumasok sa trabaho/negosyo.

VS

Pumas ka ng trabaho/negosyo.

...napa OT ka ng wala sa oras. byebye program

...natrapik ka ng todo todo. byebye program

...napagod ka sa byahe pauwe, tinamad. byebye program

...nagkita kayo ng crush mo. may nag aya. byebye program

etc etc

Pero syempre case to case basis depende sa lifestyle but bottom line the morning advantage is synonymous to exercise before your day starts.

AFTERNOON advantage is STRONGER output. Research shows that athletes have higher power output in the late afternoons. So if you are a competitive lifter (not necessarily professional) you might get some benefit working out in the late afternoons in trying to break those PRs.

 

Personally, I can lift heavier weights in the late afternoons compared to mornings so I can say that this hypothesis applies to me.
