The struggle is real: should you work out in the morning or evening? The choice is yours, but which will help you to achieve your fitness goals?

Here, we will evaluate the benefits to working out in the morning and evening to help you establish regularity in the timing of your workouts.

Benefits of Morning

Strengthening Hormones:

Crucial, muscle-building hormones are at their highest levels in the morning. Testosterone, which helps to fuel energy – in addition to building muscle mass – is at its peak first thing in the morning. Testosterone levels are approximately one-third higher in the morning than during the rest of the day.

Better Sleep:

Studies have shown that individuals who work out in the morning power down faster in the evening. Increased sleep leads to the production of more growth hormones, resulting in higher metabolism and fat-burning qualities.

Higher Metabolism:

Morning workouts lead to higher metabolic rates. The process of increased metabolism during post-workout stems from Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (“EPOC”). As the body uses more oxygen and energy to recover from a workout, you are more likely to burn calories at a faster rate throughout the day.

Benefits of Evening

Impactful Workouts:

The body is more physically prepared for a workout in the evening. As your muscles and joints have been active all day, less warm up time is required for pre-workout and overall flexibility is heightened. With increased flexibility, you’re also less prone to injury.

Reduced Negative Hormones:

The stress hormone, cortisol, is catabolic, which means it works against testosterone by breaking down proteins in your muscles. Evening workouts are beneficial for capitalizing on reduced cortisol, as this “muscle-eating” hormone is 75% higher in the morning but normalizes itself at night.

Results

Our analysis leans on the side of morning workouts due to the higher levels of testosterone and the ability to produce natural GH with induced sleep.

However, whether you choose to work out in the morning or evening, we offer TEST FREAK 2.0 and GH FREAK 2.0 to boost natural hormones and help you maximize your workout routines.

Plus, even if you choose to partake in morning workouts (for the purpose of heightened testosterone), our clinically-proven dosage of LJ100 tongkat ali in TEST FREAK 2.0 helps to counter the excessive cortisol your body produces in the morning.
