I think it’s an individual decision. I’m older so I need morning exercise combined with stretching before and after. To get any benefit for me I’m doing about 30 minutes including the stretching. I find the benefits for morning exercise is waking up mentally and physically. I want these changes to work for me and they should work for you!
I’m getting gradually into the morning work out routine, so my body can start implementing the various excercises at its pace. For now I’m on a two week morning yoga lesson, 15 minutes, plus the 8 minute workout I found on fabulous. Two or three times the week I also walk at a fast pace for 9 kms more or less. This has been working for me now, but I’ll soon get more excercises in the morning.
It’s a mix. I haven’t quite sorted it out, because I usually work out with a friend shortly before lunch 3 days a week. I live in a condo so “dancing around” on top of my downstairs neighbors head at 6 am seems obnoxious. So on days when I work out I count the later workout as part of my morning — other days I try to get out and go for a short walk after I’ve had breakfast and before I start work.
Hi so ultimately I would like my main exercising to be in the morning but since my main exercise is swim practice in the afternoon I can’t. My morning exercise is a mini session just to start my day. When swim season is over I will probably start going to the gym in the morning because I want to become more of a morning person
I do a bit of running only in this brief morning session. As I wanted to start with a habit and hold to it in the long run.
I’ve been slowly incorporating more exercises in the morning. At the beginning I was counting as a 15 min brisk walk with my dog as my exercise. Now I do more of a 10 min walk followed by 3-5 differentbody weight exercises. Some mornings when I don’t do more than my walk, I try to go to the gym, usually in the evening. I am trying to figure out my time management so I can do a quick 15-20 minutes of simple body weight exercises in the morning and also hit the gym in the afternoons or evenings. Sometimes I replace the gym with fun athletic activities like jujutsu or rock climbing. Overall, it depends on what you want. I suggest slowly incorporating a little bit more into your morning exercises and see how that feels.
I do a moderate exercise routine every day. Most days it’s in the mornings, but on the days I schedule for the afternoon I also include a short morning session to maintain my daily routine. The short sessions are very light and are mostly to wake up my body and get energized for the day.
Mine is a mini-exercise session, too, and a run or walk at the gym after work! It does help to have a little bit of exercise in the AM though—even though I’d like to get up early enough to do a full workout, I’m not as much of a morning person!
Depends what I’m able to budget time for and how I’m feeling. Sometimes I go for an hour swim or yoga class, sometimes I get to the gym, sometimes I do a mini workout at home or in my break at work. And sometimes I exercise in the afternoon or evening if I have specific plans such as going skiing or skating with friends
This period of my life I want no to do exercises for the body. My works are most Sedentary, but I cut a piece of my day, usually during the solar noon, for spend a walk in the park in front of my apartment. This is possible only when the weather is good, without snow-rain-wind, just because it could be dangerous.
