When is the best time to excercise?
Is it better to excercise right after you wake up in the morning or right before you go to bed at night? Which one will give you more results? Also, any advice on what is the best type of excercise to do to lose weight and tone your whole body? Thanks!

I believe the right answer is in the morning, for reasons that others have written before me. As for the most effective exercise for fat loss, that would be resistance training (e.g. weight training).
The reason this is superior to cardio exercise for example, is that it has a constant effect on your metabolism. This means that you will burn more calories even while you sleep, other exercise types dont affect you in this way. Every pound of lean muscle you put on requires a certain amount of daily calories to upkeep.
Furthermore, you will also notice a greater toning effect as your body tightens up.
Needless to say, if you have the energy and determination to throw in a cardio a few times a week on top of a weight routine (say 30 mins on a bike or stairmaster or whatever), that would be even better. Both, by the way, have benefits for your heart as well and therefore complement each other nicely.
Good luck.
Oh btw, remember to eat many small meals in a day... this will enhance the metabolism boost and make your exercise even more effective.

before u go to bed at night, its actually not good to do it as soon as you wake up in the morning :).

It's better if you excerise in the morning for many reasons 1 being that it will wake you wake you up and get you energized for the day and if you do it right before bed you wont be able to sleep cause you'll be all energized . . .cardio is probably best.
Good Luck!

I can't see how one way or the other makes a significant difference.

I think the best time to exercise is either in the morning or in midday. Exercising wakes you up and helps you lose weight. Any type of exercising would work. You can jog, go to the gym or something around the house

okayy. like. its not good to exsersize be4 you go to bed cause like your heart is going really fast then when u go to bed it like slows down which isnt good cause like your heart rate isnt supose to change so dramtically and you could die. (thats what ive heard anyways] i think its better to exsersize when you wake up or in the afternoon. =) and. then best way to lose weight. is running. like im not kidding. running and swimming. and jumping. jumping uses every mussel in your body! also eating healthy food is good too.
=) good luck!

Very good question and a very common question personal trainers are asked.
Your answer- Right after you wake up in the morning. Here's why:
Most people do not eat anything high in Casein-dominant protein before they go to sleep. Casein dominant protein includes dairy products and casein supplements. There's 2 types of proteins most Bodybuilders will supplement with: Whey and Casein. Whey protein is a fast digesting (around 2-3 hours) protein commonly found in human breast milk and a tiny bit in cow's milk. Casein protein is a slow digesting (around 6-7 hours) protein that is dominant in cow's milk. Needless to say Casein protein is best to eat before you sleep (Fat free milk or cottage cheese is best). Now if you supply yourself with a steady stream of amino acids during the night, then your body will not have to tap into muscle tissue for energy since it will have already burned off whatever carbs you had left over in your system. You know what that means don't you? Yes...your body starts to burn body fat. Once you wake up, your body is in a heightened fat burning state because it did not have any energy in the form of carbs fed to it during the night, so it has begun to burn the stuff you want it to burn (FAT). Don't eat before you work out after you wake up because body fat will be metabolized even greater if you workout on an empty stomach. After you have finished working out..get in a good Whey protein source and a fast digesting high Glycemic Index carb (whole wheat bread for example) to feed the fat burning furnace. Little more complicated than those stupid magazines make it to be isn't it? :-)

Well, it's good to do both actually. It would be better to do it at night because you would be burning those calories that you put on during the day. In the moring it's basiclly the same thing. If I were you, I would do it in the afternoon or after you eat a meal and then later on at night, after you eat a meal. You just need to cut down on fats, sweets, and friend food and replace it with healthier things. Drink a lot of water, no soda and natrual juices. Go to www.toneteen.com and it will give you a whole bunch of exercises for each part of the body.

I'm no health expert, but i do know a little. I think it would be best, if you have the time, to exercise in the morning, maybe after breakfast. If you exercised right before bed, you'd probally wake yourself up, making it harder to fall asleep. Its good to walk about 30 minutes a day, you could either, if you work, walk during your lunch break, or say if you go to school, then like after school go for a walk, or walk on a treadmill. I would not recommend right before bed. If you want to focus on certain parts of the body, or just increasing your streght, i would recommend pilates videos, such as mat workouts. ALso any exercise with dumbgells can be good. hope i helped

♥ Before bed is known to work better because your burning off all the cals you collect that day. Doing it the morning and then eating breakfast ... well wasted work.
Im not forsure what you could do to tone your whole body. But crunches help your abs and back!.
Hope i helped a little sorry!
