It\u2019s an age-old question. But a few recent studies have brought us closer to an answer.<\/p>\n

What is the best time of day to exercise?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a straightforward question with a frustrating number of answers, based on research results that can be downright contradictory.<\/p>\n

The latest piece of evidence<\/a> came last month from a group of Australian researchers, who argued that evening<\/a> was the healthiest time to break a sweat, at least for those who are overweight. Their study looked at 30,000 middle-aged people with obesity and found that evening exercisers were 28 percent less likely to die of any cause than those who worked out in the morning or afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were surprised by the gap,\u201d said Angelo Sabag, an exercise physiologist at the University of Sydney who led the study. The team expected to see a benefit from evening workouts, but \u201cwe didn\u2019t think the risk reduction would be as pronounced as it was.\u201d<\/p>\n

So does that mean that evening swimmers and night runners<\/a> had the right idea all along?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not settled,\u201d said Juleen Zierath, a physiologist at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden. \u201cIt\u2019s an emerging area of research. We haven\u2019t done all the experiments. We\u2019re learning a lot every month.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

No single study can dictate when you should exercise. For many people, the choice comes down to fitness goals, work schedules and plain old preferences. That said, certain times of day may offer slight advantages, depending on what you hope to achieve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
