Best
Time to Exercise May Be Different for Men and Women
Getting off the couch is always better than lounging around. But according to a study that tracked 30 men and 26 women for 12 weeks, women are better off exercising in the a.m., while men derive maximum benefit from evening exercise. Lead author Dr. Paul Arciero of Skidmore College said the time of day had more of an impact on exercise outcomes for women: Mornings were best for fat burning, while evenings were great for building muscle strength and improving mood. It’s still unclear why there’s such a difference, but Arciero suspects hormones and sleep-wake cycles play a role. (Source: BBC)
