Now just like anything, we are all different! This is also true for what time of day we like to hit the gym - some of us are morning people, some of us are evening bats!
But which is better? Will I see more results with a morning session or an afternoon session?
Let's take a look...
Morning sessions
Pros:
You start your day with a win.
The gym will be quieter the earlier you go.
You'll be more productive at work.
You get you time before work.
Cons:
It takes a while to wake up, you may feel tired.
You may skip breakfast.
You might hit snooze on that alarm.
Dark mornings in winter make it harder.
Afternoon sessions:
Pros:
You can burn off stress after work.
You might have more energy than the morning.
It's easier to take a gym buddy!
Cons:
You may be more tired from work.
It might be busier at the gym.
You need to fuel wisely between lunch and dinner.
Sunny summer evenings can be hard to miss for the gym.
In summary, while there is some science to suggest that mornings are better for training, it is ultimately a personal choice. You need to find a time of day that suits your schedule, your body + your preferences. The only difference to your gains will be picking a time that enables you to stick to your training consistently!
