Is exercising at night really looking for trouble?

People nowadays are under great pressure in life and have a fast pace of work. They are almost always busy with work during the day and cannot exercise during the day, so they can only exercise at night. There are all sorts of opinions about when is the best time to exercise, so is it good to exercise at night?

1. When is the best time to exercise?

If you have to say when is the best time to exercise, morning seems to be a good choice. Studies have shown that if subjects eat a diet high in calories and fat, then the same amount of exercise, when done in the morning, is more effective in suppressing the rise of blood lipids throughout the day than exercising at other times. Morning is the time when "Yang energy is generated", so you should exercise in the morning! Indeed, after getting up in the morning, the human body wakes up from the sleep state with the lowest metabolic rate. If you can move around properly, it will help increase the metabolic rate and improve blood circulation. Exercising in the morning means getting up early, and the prerequisite for getting up early is to go to bed early. Going to bed early and getting up early, and having a regular life are good for your health.

2. Can I exercise at night?

Experts say that exercising during the day nourishes yang energy, while exercising at night damages yang energy. Even the birds know to hide in the woods at night. Exercising at night is against nature. Not only will you not get the exercise effect, you will also hurt your body. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine not only advocates less exercise at night, but also advocates getting up early to exercise "wait until daylight." As the saying goes, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. As the sun rises and falls, the body's yang energy also rises and falls.

Reminder: A day is also divided into four seasons. During the day, you can exercise and sweat like in spring and summer. But at night, you need to store your energy, like in autumn and winter, when you need to nourish yin, sit quietly, and be peaceful. A short period of exercise can actually mean so much! I would like to remind everyone not to exercise outdoors in "smoggy" weather!

3. The best time to exercise at night

It’s not good to exercise at night, but that also depends on the time period. The best time to exercise in the evening is 2 hours after dinner and before bedtime. Relevant experts suggest that dusk: 17:00-19:00, especially when the sun sets, is the best time for evening exercise as the human body's athletic ability reaches its peak, vision and hearing are more sensitive, heart rate and blood pressure also rise.
