Best Time to Workout?

It may be difficult in our busy lives to fit in a workout during the optimal times. But as a generic principle before your workout you should always be hydrated and had a meal or snack an hour or two before you begin. This is to ensure that your body is nutritionally prepared to pull you through your workout. But does the time you train influence your results?

Professor Hespel from the Catholic University Leuven in Belgium has conducted an research experiment which compared fat burning and muscle gain when working out in the morning fasted or during the day with meals. His investigation proved that working out in the morning fasted provided individual’s with better fat burning and muscle results than those training during the day. He based his analysis of the findings on the fasted morning workouts boosting your metabolism and releasing more growth hormone.

Thus, early morning workouts are more effective in progressing your fitness goals efficiently. But no stress. If you can't wake up in the morning or find it difficult with your life schedule then as long as you work hard you'll still get results from training during the nights... it may just take alittle more time then if you were training fasted in the morning.
