People argue endlessly about whether morning or evening workouts are “better.” The truth is, the best time is the one you can stick to consistently and that suits your body clock.
Morning workouts have a few advantages. You get your exercise done before the day can interrupt with meetings, traffic, or sudden plans. Many people feel more focused and energised after moving early, and it sets a healthy tone for the rest of the day. The downside is you need to manage sleep; waking up very early after a short night isn’t sustainable.
Evening sessions work well if you’re naturally more energetic later in the day. Muscles are usually warmer, joints feel less stiff, and it can be a good way to decompress after work. The risk is that late workouts might push your bedtime later or clash with social and family time.
Notice your pattern: do you wake up ready to move, or are you a slow starter? Are evenings generally free or unpredictable? Start with 2–3 sessions a week at the time that feels least forced, and see how your body responds over a couple of weeks.
Instead of copying someone else’s schedule, build your routine around your real life. That’s how workouts become a habit, not a phase.
