The ideal time for exercise depends on individual goals and preferences. For males, peak testosterone levels occur around 3-4 pm, making it optimal for weight and resistance training, as well as recovery. However, personally prioritizes early morning workouts (5 am, two days a week) due to schedule constraints, emphasizing the importance of consistency.
ACTION ITEMS
Consistently work out early in the morning 2 days a week before family/work obligations
MaleĀ should aim to train 2-3 hours after waking up or in the late afternoon/evening when testosterone peaks
Choose a workout time that avoids last-minute cancellations due to tiredness or other interruptions
Avoid late night workouts close to bedtime to maintain sleep quality

What is the best time of day to work out? This is a question I get a ton of, and it kind of varies and depends for your goals, right? So someone like myself, I never wanted to work out in the morning, but my current schedule does not allow me to really sacrifice anywhere but five in the morning. So that’s what I’m doing two days a week, very consistently.
But if you’re a male, you should probably be training about two to three hours after you wake up, or later into the evening, around three to 4pm this is typically when our testosterone is at its highest peak, which allows us to obviously get more weight and resistance training, have more endurance while we’re doing the exercise, but also to recover faster and better immediately post exercise. But regardless of who you are, you need to pick a time that’s going to work for you consistently.
Because if you’re somebody who can easily talk yourself out of a workout later in the day because you’re tired and other things come up, then you have to prioritize it early in the morning, and that’s currently what I do. I think you know, once you get into family life, once you’re someone who has a career, has a family, you have to do it when you know nothing else can possibly interrupt. And I don’t recommend doing it at 10pm at night, because that’ll inhibit your sleep quality. So I definitely like to tell people, best time of day to work out is the time, you can consistently do. And for most people, especially with families is early, early morning, before anyone else is, if you found it helpful. Please let me know in the comments. Enjoy. What is the best.
