When Should I Exercise?
Your body is like a huge locomotive that takes an age to reach top speed. Leaving exercise until your body is ready means a better workout and fewer injuries.
Morning workouts are unquestionably good for you, your mood, and your concentration, and even help improve academic performance. However, this is the time for gentle exercise; if you push muscles beyond their capacity, they are liable to damage, resulting in tiny rips that cause soreness and injury. Save serious workouts for the afternoon when your body is at its peak. Also, avoid exercising too late in the evening—workouts raise your temperature, counteracting the natural lowering of your body temperature, which readies you for sleep.
