Are You Working Out Too Late?
Welcome to another weekend short of The Matter Over Mind Experience
I am your host, Master Trainer & Weight Management Expert, Narado Zeco Powell
This weekend, I have a question for you
Are you working out too late?
I am talking about time of the day and how it impacts your health, sleep & results
Let’s begin
The best time to workout is whatever time you have to workout
So, even though, I will give you some options, don’t stress and only make changes if you need to or can
Timing Your workout is important for many reasons
Let’s begin with sleep
When we train, our bodies raises adrenaline & cortisol levels especially when we train at high intensities
This means that later we exercise, the less time we have to lower these levels that can blunt melatonin production which can make it hard to fall & stay asleep
I generally find that if you have to workout in the evenings, light or zone 2 cardio seems to be more helpful
Regarding health & results, research tells us that early workouts, especially intensive workouts make the most out of our biology & psychology
Best time to workout is when you have time to workout, but keep in mind that working out earlier in the day can be more effective & improve sleep quality.
Enjoy your weekend fam!
