For most people, the hardest part of the workout is the moment they decide to slip on their sneakers. As soon as they put them on, they become committed to exercise. No kidding, have you ever seen someone put on his sport outfit and quit the workout without giving it a try?

The reason why is because as soon as you get dressed to do sports, you set your mind to begin exercising. You can compare that with filling your car's trunk with luggage and eventually deciding not to go on holidays. Even if it takes a little time to get dressed, you don't want to have done it for nothing.

The best time to exercise depends on you, but for some of you who lacks a bit of motivation, I highly recommend working out in the morning. Why? Simply because what is done for the day, is done! It's like doing your household chores; as soon as they will be finished you will enjoy the benefits. 

Over 90% of people who exercise in the morning stick with it. In the morning you still have energy; whereas, in the evening you may feel tired by an exhausting and stressful workday that has wasted all your energy and motivation and you will experience the urge to eat your dinner and go to bed.

Exercise may produce an adrenaline rush-- that is why if you work out in the evening, you could have  trouble to sleep. Furthermore, exercises provide mental acuity; thus, if you are more aware after your workout, you have better benefits this time during your day to help you to problem-solve at work…

If your schedule doesn't allow you enough time in the morning, I recommend doing your workout before dinner. You have to set your mind that you will eat only when your exercise session is done. See your meal as a reward, but do not overeat and keep following a healthy diet.  

Whenever you choose to work out, remember that the best time depends on you; it is when you feel you will be consistent.
