Best Time of Day to Exercise


Ever heard that working out first thing in the morning burns more calories? Well, sadly it's not true. And believe me the two mornings that my alarm goes off at 4:50 AM so that I can teach a 5:45 AM class, I SO want to believe that.

Truth be told, tt really doesn't matter when you get your fitness on - whether that is in the morning, in the afternoon, during your lunch break or in the evening. Your body is not more efficient at burning fat during any particular time of the day. Calories burned at 5:45 PM are just as good as calories burned at 5:45 AM.

Take that you early bird and your stupid worm!
