Best time to exercise

We all know that regular exercise has many benefits for our health, and it can also relieve our stressful work mood throughout the day. So we often see many people exercising when we get up early for work or when we get off work, and we can even see people exercising when we go out for a walk in the evening. So is it okay to exercise at any time? Let’s find out what is the best time to exercise.

Pros and Cons of Exercise

For example, in the morning: when the human body engages in strenuous exercise, the sympathetic nerves can become excited. This rapid change can cause a series of changes in the body and affect the mental state throughout the day, which is harmful to health. In addition, blood sugar is at a low level during this period. Exercise will consume a large amount of blood sugar, which can easily lead to symptoms of hypoglycemia. Exercise in the morning and afternoon is affected by objective factors such as going to work, work, and housework.

The highest and lowest points of human physical strength are controlled by the body's "biological clock", and generally reach a peak in the evening. For example, the lowest point in the body's oxygen absorption is at 6:00 p.m.; the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure is most balanced between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., and the body's sense of smell, touch, vision, etc. are also most sensitive between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. Therefore, overall, exercising in the evening is more effective.

In addition, the activity of hormones in the human body is in a good state between 4:00 and 7:00 pm, and the body's adaptability and nerve sensitivity are also the best. Therefore, experts advocate exercising in the evening, but during the evening, you should pay attention to the intensity of exercise, otherwise too high intensity will excite the sympathetic nerves and hinder sleep.

From 5pm to 8pm, physical strength and endurance are at their peak of the day. It is the best time to exercise, which will achieve very good results and is very beneficial for sleep. From 1am to 4am, most organs of the human body slow down or stop working. This is time for us to fully rest, muscles completely relax, blood pressure, blood supply to the brain, and pulse will slowly decrease. Between 5 and 7 in the morning, the body begins to wake up. Getting up at this time will quickly make you feel energetic, especially at 7 o'clock, when the secretion of adrenal cortex hormone reaches its peak and the immune function is strengthened, which is very suitable for exercise. 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. is the time when the nerves are most excited, and the memory, heart, and enthusiasm are all in the best condition. Therefore, this period is suitable for work, study or travel, but not for exercise. 1. From 1 to 4 p.m., especially in spring and summer, people are prone to fatigue and sleepiness. It is best to rest at this time and not do strenuous exercise after lunch. Around 10 o'clock in the evening, your body temperature begins to drop, sleepiness will slowly come over you, and your body functions tend to be at a low ebb, making it unsuitable for strenuous exercise.

Exercise certainly has many benefits to the body, but you have to exercise at the right time to achieve the best results. After understanding the best time to exercise, we have a better understanding of exercise. Although exercise has many benefits, choosing the right time will not achieve twice the result with half the effort.
