When it comes to weight loss and muscle building, new studies show that the best time to exercise differs between men and women.
We have found that you can get more out of your efforts by working out at different times to get specific results.
Researchers in the United States conducted a 12-week study aimed at finding the “elusive” ideal time, taking into account the differences in response to exercise between men and women.
The results show that women who want to burn belly fat to lower their blood pressure need to exercise in the morning.
Hormones, sleep cycles, and other biological differences may indicate why gender differences appear to be, Miller reported.

According to a study from Skidmore College in New York, people, especially women, may benefit more from exercising in the morning than in the evening, which is best for men.
The survey involved 30 men and 26 women, all healthy and aged 25-55 years.
One group exercised for an hour before 8:30 am. The other groups performed the same activity between 6 pm and 8 pm, all with a special diet.
Dr. Paul Arserio, a professor of health and human physiology at Skidmore University, the lead author of the study, told the BBC that early exercise “will give people more opportunities to benefit.”
Their findings show that the morning program is especially beneficial for women who want to lower tummy fat and blood pressure, but find it better to try to build muscle in the evening.
It was said that evening exercise was also good for women.
For men, evening training is beneficial to heart health and mood.
Dr. Arcerio said:[Evening exercise is] Ideal for men interested in improving heart and metabolic health, as well as emotional health. “
The time when men exercised seemed to have less effect on men.
This program was already aimed at healthy people, but it may be applicable to overweight people in the future.
Is it important what time you exercise?
Regular exercise and a balanced diet are beneficial to your health, even if some studies have shown that exercising at specific times can help you lose weight.
Therefore, morning exercise may be good for women, but overall exercise is good for your health and better than doing nothing.
Dr. Arcerio said: “The best time to exercise is the best time to do it and schedule it.”
This study was published in the journal Frontiersin Physiology.
