Morning Glory...or Grumpy?

By Kevin Valluzzi

Q: Does it make a difference if I work out in the morning or at night?

A: Absolutely not! Some people have suggested that by working out first thing in the morning you will burn off more fat since you are working out on an empty stomach. This is just simply not true. The best time to work out is whatever works best for you. If you are not a morning person and you are really forcing yourself to exercise at sunrise, then chances are you will not stick with it for long. And vice versa. In the past, I've worked out first thing in the morning and I've also worked out at 10:00 p.m. Pick the time of day that works best for you and stick with it--because what will make the biggest difference is consistency.
