Ever wondered what is the best time of the day to exercise if you want to lose weight fast and keep the pounds off too? If you did, you are not alone: a group of researcher set out to test this exact hypothesis, namely whether you should work out early-morning, late-morning, in the afternoon or in the evening. One thing is for sure: regular exercise and consistency will help both weight loss and getting healthier too.

The research is called "Relationship of Consistency in Timing of Exercise Performance and Exercise Levels Among Successful Weight Loss Maintainers" and it was published in July 2019, concluding that "among temporally consistent exercisers, 47.8% were earlymorning exercisers". What this means is that people who were exercising early-morning were most likely to keep on exercising and therefore losing belly fat on the long run.

Evening exercisers came in second place (25.1%), followed by late-morning people (15.6%) and finally, those who exercised in the afternoon (11.4%). Surprisingly, people who did workouts in the afternoon reported the most weight loss while doing a little less active activity than early-morning people.

Although the researchers conclude that "a large proportion of temporally consistent exercisers were earlymorning exercisers, suggesting a potential benefit of earlymorning physical activity", it also says that "findings suggest that exercising at the same time of day, regardless of whether it is during the morning, afternoon, or evening, may help with achieving higher physical activity levels".

Therefore, the key takeaway here is pick a time of the day you know will be available for exercising on most days and stick to it. If you have more time early-morning, before work, put on your trail running shoes and go for a run on the nearest forest path then. If you prefer to do some work first and then hit the treadmill in the gym in the afternoon, that can also work, as long as you go frequently.
