In a nutshell:

p. m. workouts once and for all, keep on watching this video because today, we will discuss what happens when you work out in the morning vs evening! A lot of things can pop up throughout your day that derails your evening workout plans, whether it's errands, extra work, familial duties, or impromptu social plans. If your usual workout falls during happy hour, odds are you'll choose a drink over your fitness more than once.

Working out in the morning means you'll already have checked that off your to-do list for the day — and won't need to worry about any conflicts or temptations getting in the way later. When consumed right after a workout, alcohol makes it more difficult for your body to repair and recover from exercise. The good news for morning exercisers is that usually enough time has passed after your workout that an after-work cocktail won't mess with your recovery or progress — or, at least as much as if you worked out at night and went right to happy hour or had a glass of wine. Research suggests training at the beginning of your day can help improve your focus for the rest of your day.

A bout of moderate morning exercise led to increases in serum brain-derived neurotrophic growth factor (a molecule important for memory and learning), as well as working memory (temporary storage and use of information), according to the study. One 2019 study published in the International Journal of Obesity, for example, found that when overweight, physically inactive adults worked out in the morning five days a week for 10 months, they saw greater weight loss compared to those who followed the exact same workout regime, but did their workouts at night. The mechanisms that cause this are not clear, but the theory is that it's because morning exercisers set a positive tone of health for their day, and therefore eat better throughout the rest of their day. Incorporating exercise into your routine at any time of the day will help you sleep — especially if you've otherwise been sedentary.

But here's the thing about working out at night: Cutting your workout too close to bedtime can interfere with your ability to fall asleep. If your only option is to work out at night or before bed, you have to counteract that chemical reaction to wind down in preparation for bed, (By doing a thorough cool down, meditating, or doing yoga, for example. ) But if you exercise in the morning, you can simply enjoy that exercise high instead of having to find ways to counteract it in order to drift off faster. Working out at night has benefits, too.

Feel like you're sleepwalking on the treadmill when you work out in the morning? When you're low on sleep, your physical coordination and endurance both suffer, which can make early-morning exercise feel harder and also potentially lead to injury. Not to mention, if you work out in the morning, you have that whole "should I eat before my workout?" conundrum to consider. (Spoiler: It's okay if you don't like to eat beforehand, but you might not perform at your best, since your body doesn't have fuel at the ready to power your muscles. ) Meanwhile, if you work out at night, you'll have had the whole day to fuel your body with food (and caffeine!) and build the level of alertness and energy you need to crush your workout.

When I train in the evening, it helps me blow off some of the stress that has accumulated over the course [of the day].
