There’s not really a “right” time of day to exercise. It really depends on your body and what time of day you’re at your peak. Some people struggle to get up in the morning whereas others can hop out of bed ready for a training session. Whichever time of day you prefer to work out, try to time your workout with your meals. Ideally, you shouldn’t be working out right after a heavy meal; though if you have no other choice, it’s better to train than not!
If you’d prefer to work out in the morning but simply can’t find the energy try these tips:
Get adequate rest which is vital for energy levels. It is recommended that we get 7 – 8 hours of sleep a night.
If you’re getting the right amount of sleep but still feeling groggy in the morning this could be due to being in a state of ketosis from fasting during sleep. This is when your body uses fat for energy if you aren’t eating sufficient carbs and the result is low energy levels. Also make sure you are not lacking oxygen during the night (have windows open or ventilation running).
Try drinking green tea, coffee or green juices for an energizing boost before your workout
