When Is The Best Time To Work Out?


Recommended Posts

  • 2 weeks later...
Any opinions or suggestions?

 

What is an ideal time to hit the gym considering one holds a regular eight-hour job? Is it advisable to do so before or after one's work schedule?

 

After work, if you're thinking of serious lifting.

 

But you need to work out only an hour and no more than that.

 

Since I think you're a beginner, just stick with the basics - bench press, deadlift, back squat, military press, either a pendlay row or power cleans. They build insane strength plus muscles you develop are denser and not flabby like others.

 

Progress by adding 5 lbs every workout session.

 

Do not go into a per body part routine - you're no advanced lifter.

 

I do not see any logic going to the gym before work unless you're there for just some aerobics routine.

the idea of working out is working out in the late afternoon / evening.but not morning. Apparently, in the morning there are several factors that put you at a greater risk for heart attack and stroke:

According to the magazines I read: (magazines again...)LOL

 

•In the morning, your blood pressure takes a significant jump and stays higher before decreasing towards mid day.

•In the morning, your blood has a higher "stickiness."

•In the morning, your blood vessels and arteries are less flexible.

These factors combine to raise the risk of heart attack and stroke. Statistically speaking, they said you are about 10 times more likely to have a heart attack before 12PM.

In contrast to the negative risk factors associated with morning workouts, working out in the afternoon / evening generally results in greater performance.

Obviously, with busy lives, sometimes you just have to fit it in where you can; but, given the choice, all the scientific evidence seems to indicate that working out in the late afternoon / evening is the best choice both for your general health and your sport-specific performance

Thanks for the info madame. At least I know now that working out in the evening even if I'm tired from work isn't bad for the health.
