What time is good for morning exercise?

People who like to exercise are willing to exercise at any time. Therefore, morning exercises and evening exercises are the times when most people exercise together. For some people who work out in the gym, there is not such a clear distinction. For some people who have tight working schedules, they need to adjust the time. However, many people like to do morning exercises, so what specific time period is better for morning exercises?

The best time for morning exercise is between 5:30 and 6:30 in the summer and autumn, and between 6 and 7 in the winter and spring. The effect of morning exercise will be greatly reduced if it is too early or too late. This effect is more obvious for the elderly and children.

In summer and autumn, the sun rises early, and many elderly people are accustomed to getting up early. Many of them go for morning exercises at 4 a.m. In fact, it is not necessary to exercise so early, because at that time, the air is still in intense circulation and movement, and the air quality is not good. Therefore, the air quality is better when exercising between 5:30 and 6:30.

In winter and spring, the sun rises late and the mornings are very cold. It is no exaggeration to say that the wind is biting. Getting up in the dark to exercise is more likely to cause safety hazards. Therefore, it is recommended to postpone the exercise time a little bit, between 6 and 7 o'clock, which will be safer and more reliable.

For morning exercises, it is best to choose parks, residential areas, green areas, etc. These places have more green plants, plenty of fresh air, and cleaner air, which are good for the body. It is absolutely not recommended to do morning exercises in foggy weather, as it will cause irreversible damage to your lungs. Please remember to watch the weather forecast to keep abreast of the weather for the next day to help you prepare for the situation.

It is not advisable to run before or after meals. Running after a meal or eating immediately after running will cause a decrease in gastric acid secretion, affecting the digestion of food, which will cause stomach problems over time. It is generally better to exercise one hour after a meal. Running before going to bed is not a good exercise. Exercising before going to bed will put the cerebral cortex in a highly excited state, resulting in adverse reactions such as dreaming or difficulty falling asleep. It is not advisable to do high-intensity exercise on an empty stomach in the morning. If you are running for a long distance, you can first drink a small cup of sugar water or eat a little snack.

It is not difficult to see that the specific time period for morning exercise can be determined according to the different seasons. Exercise should not be done blindly. You need to be able to adapt to circumstances and adjust according to your physical condition. You can consult your doctor about the exercise time before and after meals and whether your physical condition allows for exercise.
