Exercise at the Right Time of Day for You While some studies show that exercising between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., when your body is warmed up, is optimal, most experts agree that whatever works with your schedule is always best. Mornings are ideal for those with busy careers or social calendars who aren’t able to fit in a workout otherwise. If you do exercise in the morning, be sure to eat a small, easily digestible breakfast like oatmeal, yogurt, or fruit to refuel your body, advises Declan Condron, CSCS, owner and cocreator of PumpOne, a training program used on iPods. Decidedly not a morning person? A lunchtime gym session or after-work exercise regimen may work better for you. If you do work out in the evening, choose a calming exercise like yoga or swimming since exercising too close to bedtime may disrupt sleep.
