Morning, midday or midnight – when is the best time to work out? That depends on when’s the best time for you. The best time is when you will do it most consistently. It is based on a combination of location, time of day, type of physical activity and social setting, among others. The mix of factors for people come together to result in being consistent. Different people will have different preferences and predispositions with regard to how they respond to exercise at different times of the day. The goal is 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. Or you can be creative and break up your activity into daily bouts of 3- 10 minute increments. More is better, but we’re absolutely certain even modest amounts are much better than being sedentary.
