It's best not to exercise within the few hours before you go to bed, because you'll be too keyed up to sleep. Exercise during the day and you'll be more rested at night.

It really all depends on you and what you're used to doing.  If I workout in the morning - I'm tired for the rest of the day because I normally work out a few hours before bedtime.  For other's it works the other way.  I'm not a morning person, so morning workouts aren't really an option unless I missed the previous days workout or something.  Now, I have heard that you burn the most calories in the morning, but I was never too concerned with that.

running in the morning helps to get your blood pumping which has an effect like drinking a cup of coffee. running at night does the same thing, however, it may cause sleep deprivition. depending on your schedule, exercising before starting your day is most beneficial. you get it over with and don't spend the whole day dreading that 30 min. run, or whatever your work out routine may be. the big difference is in the stored sugars. your body naturally stores glycerol (basically sugar) during rest. so, when you wake up, exercising will actually boost that stored sugar and burn it. the results are not tremendously different than running in the afternoon or evening, but hey, every little bit helps! although, if you are running, that's the main priority, so props to you!! good luck in your work out regime!!! :)

I have never heard of not exercising during this time.\n\nI exercise all the time and have never had any problems. Actually when I exercise during that time of the month,it helps to alleviate some of the symptoms of pain,cramping,and bloating.\n\nDon't know where you got your idea from,but I see nothing wrong with exercise at any time.

The time of day is not as important as the exercise itself.  \n\nI have read studies and the most recent being that there are benefits for each time of the day.\n\nMorning, for obvious reasons will get you energized for the day.   Evening has been said to cause insomnia, but NOT for all because studies have actually shown that it helps you sleep better.\n\nI am an avid cross-trainer and have done all different times of the day.  I do prefer routine, just to get it in, but I see an overall benefit and am not affected negatively at any time.

Your body metabolizes fat more efficiently. Your propensity to sweat is greater which promotes increased fluid (water) intake. The ability to eliminate toxins is greater. Your heart functions more efficiently. You're able to provide more oxygen to the brain thereby heightening awareness and the production of useful chemicals that stimulate and provide energy. etc etc...basically you are stress free when you wake up.\n\nwith that said, different people are more energetic at different times of day.  so just get out there and exercise...doesn't really matter what time of day.

The morning is generally a better time because right away it boost your metabolism and thus helps you burn more of the meals you consume that day. Also, if you execise in the morning be sure to eat something small before the workout so your body will have something to workoff and not go straight to your muscle.

If you want to be healthy, you must exercise for an average of 20-30 minutes every day for the rest of your life.\n\nYou question would get more answers,and better ones, if you included more information.

"A nice walk after meal will help your digestion" is a myth. Fact is: you need a lot of energy to digest your food. Exercising right after you've done eating will disturb your digestive system from doing its job. \n\nAn invigorating exercise should be done early in the morning. Or in the afternoon, whichever fits your daily schedule. And shouldn't be done at least two hours after a big meal. \n\nLight, morning (around 5 or 6 am) exercises will fuel up your brain for the rest of the day. While afternoon exercises (around 4 or 5 pm) will motor up your metabolism, so you can burn up more calories in the evening (even while you're sleeping).

Run every morning BEFORE breakfast.  Drink lots of water and cut down on carbs (pastas, breads, rice).  Working out before breakfast is 4 times better than working out in the evening.

Working out is working out regardless of when you do it.  The benefits are the same.  In the morning, I find that my muscles are not loose enough for strenuous exercise.  I prefer mild exercise in the morning, strenuous in the afternoon after I have been walking around and loosened up.  You will get the best exercise if you exercise when you feel the best.

The best part of exercise is cardio, you want to get out and walk or run to burn fat, I would also suggest getting down and doing at lest 15 push-ups a day and gradually build yourself up to do more. The Flutter kick is also good for your abs(laying on your back with feet 3 inches off the floor and kicking your legs up and down with your neck slightly off the floor). Water consumption is important also. Don't eat after 7:00 p.m and stay stress free and you will be alright.

Always after work.  Wednesday and Sunday evenings are generally best.  Around 6 or 7pm on the West Coast (that way all the 9-5ers across the country are home from work).

If you're talking about cardio to lose weight, morning is the right answer. But for weights in my opinion mornings are not the best time. It takes longer for muscles to warm up and you require longer period of stretching. Besides, it is best that the muscles get rest sooner than later to the time of exercise. In those respects, evenings are the best time for weight training as you get to sleep within 3-5 hours after your workout

i know for a fact that if you wanna lose weight the best time of the day to run is early morining before you have eaten anything. if you havnt eaten anything you dont waste ur energy trying to burn what you just ate. instead your body burns the stored fat for energy then you have the rest of the day to burn the other stuff and you have a head start and you dont have do worry bout it. running in the moring will also increase you metabolic rate  for the day so you can eat more of the foods you want.   \nI reccomend you read The Complete Book of Running By James F.
