What time do you exercise AM or PM  |
|
I tend to exercise in the morning. I think it revs me up for the day ahead. I tried exercising at nights that lasted three days. I always found excuses. I already exercise this morning for 45 mins, and it is only 8:36. Do you exercise in the AM or PM?

1. baileycows (3416) | 6 months ago | If I do exercise which is rare these days I do it in the afternoon, but that is only because I have to be at work at 6 in the morning and i already have to get up at 430 to get dressed I don't think I could get up at 330 to exercise i would be dead since I work 10 hours days as well.

2. poppoppop111 (3238) | 6 months ago | i'm not a morning person and i don't have time in the morning to excercise cause i work. so i go to the gym in the afternoon after work. usually around 5. on my days off i used to go around lunch time but now that my daughter is done school they only have daycare at the gym in the late afternoon until 7 so i go in the late afternoon those days too now.
I don't think i could ever do it in the morning. i have no energy at all in the morning and want to get as much sleep in time as possible before work.

venshida (3423) | 6 months ago | I understand. I guess you have to be a morning person to do it early.

4. siewching_0908 (197) | 6 months ago | Most of the time I do my exercise at night, which is after my working hour for about 1-2 hour. I think exercise in the morning do help to revs us up for the day, and I did tried to, but since I go to work quite early in the morning, so it will be a bit difficult for me to exercise in the morning. However, whenever possible, I will go jogging in the morning during weekend.

5. handsomerohith (272) | 6 months ago | When to exercise really depends on your disposition and your schedule. Ideally, morning IS the best time to exercise, but this assumes that you work a day job and don't have to be there at, say, 5:00 a.m. But the best time to exercise is really whatever is the best time for YOU. Pick a time that you know you will not be distracted or lured away from your regimen.
Should you exercise before or after eating? Well, the answer would seem to be quite compatible with your type 2 diabetes. Your best bet is to eat something - not a lot - before you exercise. The rationale here is that, if you don't eat, you stand the risk of your exercise, especially if it is vigorous exercise, drawing on muscle tissue and not fat for its energy for your workout. Also, if your goal is to lose weight, do not make the mistake of drastically cutting back your food intake. Ideally, you want to keep your insulin as level as possible. Your doctor has probably already told you to eat regularly but what, exactly, does that mean? It means that you want to eat several meals each day, not just two or three. Your body can only utilize a small portion of food energy (calories/fat) in any given period of time. The rest will either be flushed out of your system or, the more likely, deposited ON your system. So your objective is to eat only so much as your body can effectively use. AND, when you have protracted periods between meals, then your natural insulin will yo-yo up and down - a recipe for disaster where a diabetic is concerned. The solution is to: 1. Control your fat and calorie content; 2. Eat five or six smaller meals spread out over any twenty-four hour period; 3. Exercise to help your body function at its best.
One last caveat: Don't buy into any of the highly touted diets on the market now that tell you to eat this, don't eat that or you can have all you want of this, but none of that. Look at the teeth in your mouth. They were designed to eat all types of foods from vegetables you cut with your incisors (those knife-edged teeth in the front) to meats you rip apart with your canines (you know those sharp, pointy fangs just behind the incisors), and then there are the molars made to grind up the grains you eat. So we harken back to that old saw about a balanced diet. But balance here needs to include a balance between what and how much you eat and how and how much you exercise.
Best of luck in your efforts.

| 7. Sandra_Hatfield (71) | 6 months ago | I like to exercise in the morning when I can get to it. I have so much going on anymore I don't get a chance to go on the tredmill even though I already have one.

8. thea09 (4498) | 6 months ago | I have recently started to exercise to strengthen my back and neck and these take almost an hour a day. At first I started in the evenings when I had nothing to do afterwards but found it hard to get motivated to do them at that time of day. So now I have swapped to the mornings which is much better as the tempretures are really too high and the humidity too much to do them later. Today I started later than usual and it was a stupid move, they felt so hard to do in the heat and twice as tough, so back to early mornings in future.
