IS THERE A BEST TIME OF DAY TO DO CARDIO?

The best time of day for cardio or any other type of training is the time you feel most physically energetic, most mentally focused, most motivated, and most likely to make it a habit and stick with it.

The way I see it, all other considerations are secondary, even if there are physiological advantages from training at specific times. Your daily training schedule is one of those personal things where it’s best to listen to your body and keep practical considerations in mind.

Many people have had great success training in the morning. Some of the benefits may be behavioral or psychological. Taking positive action in the morning starts your day on the right foot and makes you feel good all day long.

This may help you stick with your plan the rest of the day because you’ll want to stay consistent and keep your momentum going. It’s easy to blow off evening workouts when you’re exhausted from work.

When you train at the beginning of your day, your workout is out of the way. And remember, no matter how busy you are, you can always make time for training by getting up earlier in the morning.
