Optimal Exercise Timing

  • Prioritize exercising 30 minutes, 3 hours after waking, or during the late afternoon (11 hours post-waking).
  • These windows align with body temperature rhythms, optimizing performance and minimizing injury risk.
  • Exercising first thing in the morning can shift your wake-up time earlier, but combine it with light exposure for a stronger effect.
  • Avoid late-day workouts if they interfere with sleep.
