Should you work out (in the gym in the morning instead of in the evening?It all
depends.Of course,there are advantages of working out in the morning.
You will increase your energy for the rest of the day."Morning workouts result in better
energy levels throughout the day and give you more mental sharpness,says Dr Cedrie Byrant,
Chief Science Officer of the American Council on Exercise.
Here is another advantage.In 2017,health researchers found that exercising in the morning
helps you sleep better at night.According to the study,in all cases,those who exercised at 7 00
am experienced about a 10 percent drop in blood pressure that carried through the rest of the
day.They also had about a 25 percent drop in blood pressure at night,slept longer and had more
beneficial sleep cycles than when they exercised at other times of the day.
However,there are disadvantages,too.
If you are not an early riser,getting out of the bed in the morning can be very difficult.Byran
says that if you're not uscd to cxcrcising in the morning and force yoursclf to get up,you may not
put as much effort into the exercise as you would later in the day.Also,if you aren't careful,you
can damage your sleep schedule,which can lead to insufficient sleep.
Besides,hitting the gym beforc work can cause a challenge in terms of scheduling.If you
work a 9-to-5 job,getting rcady for work and going to work can cut your morning workout
short,Byrant notes.
To sum up,it has both advantages and disadvantages.If it suits you better to work out in the
morning,you can do so.
