Have you ever wondered what is the best time to exercise? The answer may not be as simple as it seems. According to different studies, there are advantages and disadvantages to exercising in the morning or afternoon, depending on your goals and your health.
According to research published in the journal Sports Medicine, exercising in the afternoon brings more benefits to cardiovascular health, as it helps to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive people and control blood sugar levels.
On the other hand, a study from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) showed that exercising in the morning is better for burning calories, as it accelerates metabolism and thermogenesis, which is the production of heat by the body.

These differences may be related to the circadian rhythm, which is our biological clock, which regulates physiological functions throughout the day and night. Thus, exercising in the morning can stimulate cells to be more active, while exercising in the afternoon can take advantage of the peak physical performance that occurs at this time.
Regardless of the time chosen, the important thing is to follow the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO), which suggests that people over 18 years of age practice 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, or 75 to 150 minutes if the intensity is high.
Exercise is essential for health and well-being. They contribute to the prevention and treatment of various diseases, such as obesity, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, depression and anxiety. Furthermore, physical activities improve cardiorespiratory capacity, muscle strength, motor coordination, balance and posture.
The important thing is to choose an activity that suits your fitness level, your goals and your preferences.
