When Should I Work Out? (0:34)
The first thing to think about when creating a workout schedule is not based on any physiological or biological factors, but simply ‘What is the best time to work out for you?’
Any difference in your results, due to the time of your workout, is negligible in comparison to those you’ll achieve by being consistent. Consistency is key to seeing ongoing results, so your biggest consideration should be around the time of day you’re most likely to do your workout regularly.
Treat Your Workout Like A Meeting (2:00)
If you take the approach of planning your workouts into your calendar in the same way you would with a meeting, they become much easier to stick to. Also, if you miss your allotted time, then the workout should be rescheduled…just like a meeting. This mindset and habit of blocking out workout time will be super helpful for making sure you stick to a regular slot and know when your workout session should be.
Should I Work Out In The Morning? (2:46)
Morning workouts have their advantages for a number of reasons. If you’re a busy person, you can hydrate when you wake, then get a workout in, in a fasted state. Doing this ignites your metabolism by making use of higher fat burning hormones as well as getting your workout over and done with for the day. Also, working out in the morning can lead straight into your first meal of the day, which is great.
What If I Work Out At Lunch Time? (4:20)
A big consideration here is what time you have eaten, and making sure you have around 1.5 - 2 hours after a meal before you exercise. There are some people that believe eating 30 minutes before a workout counts as a ‘pre-workout’ meal, but essentially that food is not digested enough to help you anyway. A better routine here is to work out BEFORE you have your main lunchtime meal. That way your muscles are primed to absorb the nutrients better as they are digested.
How To Create A Workout Schedule (6:04)
When you’re designing your workout schedule, use your meal timings as a rough guide so you can ideally eat after a workout. That being said, the main thing is actually to get a workout in. It’s better to do a workout than to miss one because it doesn’t fit in near a meal. Use the guidelines above with the thought always in your mind that the best time is always one you can stick to consistently.
