The success of training in the gym to some extent depends on what time of the day you choose to improve the body.
How to choose the optimal time for training?
At first, it is better to listen to your own biorhythms. It is proved that there are several chronotypes of people. If you get up at dawn and feel great at the same time, then early training will bear good results. Well, those who feel overwhelmed in the morning and activated only in the evening, late classes will do.
Choose the training time depending on the goal. For example, the morning is great for classes aimed at losing weight . Firstly, training in the morning is very invigorating and increases the metabolic rate for the rest of the day. Secondly, the morning hours - the best time for weight loss training, because you can conduct classes on an empty stomach, which will allow the body to proceed immediately to burning excess fatty deposits, and not to eat the eaten food and glycogen stored in the liver.
Training in the morning, afternoon and evening
If you choose the best time for training, based on the physiological processes occurring in the body throughout the day, you can draw some conclusions.
- Early in the morning, body temperature is lowered just like blood pressure and hormone production. Therefore, during the morning exercise, energy consumption is reduced. In addition, physical exercises performed in the morning, often lead to injuries, so before such training should be longer to warm up.
- It is believed that the most
favorable time of the day for training - from 15.00 to 20.00 hours. During this period, body temperature and hormone production reach their peak, so training will be most productive. Also in the evening hours the pain threshold is minimized, due to this you can perform more complex exercises, increase the number of repetitions, approaches and weights. - Training in the late evening (after 21.00 hours) is not suitable for all people, because at this time the body is preparing for a night of rest, and all metabolic processes are gradually slowing down. It is also important to consider that after training it is unlikely to fall asleep immediately, the body needs a few hours to relax, so people who are prone to insomnia from late night training are better off.
- Finally, we note that the best time for training will be a period of the day in which you can exercise regularly, at the same time and feel good at the same time.
