What is the best time for morning and evening weight loss exercises

The best time for weight loss exercises is usually on an empty stomach in the morning or 1-2 hours after dinner. Fasting exercise from 6-8 in the morning can help accelerate fat metabolism, while from 17-19 in the evening can better utilize the energy intake during the day. The specific time selection needs to be adjusted based on personal schedule, exercise intensity, and physical tolerance. When doing weight loss exercises on an empty stomach in the morning, the body's glycogen reserves are lower after a night of consumption, making it easier to mobilize fat for energy supply during exercise. It is recommended to choose low to moderate intensity aerobic exercises, such as step exercises, fitness dances, etc., to avoid low blood sugar caused by high-intensity training. Before exercising, it is advisable to drink a small amount of warm water for 20-30 minutes. After morning exercise, it is necessary to supplement high-quality protein and compound carbohydrates in a timely manner, such as pairing eggs with whole wheat bread.

Doing weight loss exercises in the evening can effectively burn the accumulated calories during the day, especially suitable for people with poor dietary control. Starting mid to high intensity interval training, such as combat exercises, skipping rope exercises, etc., one hour after a meal can increase basal metabolic rate for 4-8 hours. Pay attention to avoiding excessive eating within 2 hours after exercise and supplement electrolytes appropriately. For individuals with sleep disorders, it is recommended to advance exercise time to at least 3 hours before bedtime.

Regardless of whether you choose morning exercise or evening exercise, you should maintain regular exercise 4-5 times a week, with a single session lasting 30-45 minutes. Warm up and stretch thoroughly before and after exercise, and adjust the intensity according to physical sensation. Combining a balanced diet and sufficient sleep, long-term persistence is necessary to achieve the desired weight loss effect. Special populations such as patients with hypoglycemia and hypertension should schedule exercise time under the guidance of a doctor.
