Why Exercising In The Evenings Is Better For Obese People

When it comes to the health of an obese person, suddenly everyone becomes a doctor, a health coach and motivational speaker. Most people believe all the person has to do is exercise more and eat less, but that is not the case at all. While you may not believe them, certain details like what you ate before exercising and the time of day you exercise at can affect a person’s health, it certainly plays a role! <span>Fitness is never a linear process for anyone</span>. While some people see a big difference in the first few weeks, other may not see a difference even months later. While these things may be discouraging, you have to remember that your health does not stop getting better every day, even if it is not apparent to the naked eye. 

A new <span>research published in Diabetes Care</span> suggests that people with obesity, especially those who also have type 2 diabetes, might get the most health benefits if they exercise between 6 p.m. and midnight. The study found that people who were most active at night had a lower risk of heart problems and dying early compared to those who exercised at other times. This is interesting, but we need more research to be sure about it.

<h2>How The Time You Exercise Affects Your Health</h2>

Other studies have suggested that exercising at night is good for people with type 2 diabetes. This new research wanted to learn more about it and see how the time of your workout affects your health in the long run. Researchers looked at almost 30,000 people with obesity, some also had type 2 diabetes. People wore devices that <span>tracked their activity for a week</span>, so the researchers could see when they were most active. After watching these people for almost eight years, they found that the people who did most of their exercise at night had the lowest risk of health problems, like heart disease. While exercising at night seemed best, exercising at any time was better than not exercising at all.

<h2><span rel="noindex">Morning vs. Night Workouts</span>: Which is Better?</h2>

The study suggests that nighttime workouts might be best for people with obesity and type 2 diabetes. But experts say the most important thing is to exercise whenever you can. Nighttime might be better, but it's not always possible for everyone. People are busy with work, family, and other things. So, the main message is: any exercise is good, no matter when you do it. Don't let worrying about the "perfect time" stop you from being active. Adults should try to get about 2 and a <span>half hours of moderate exercise</span> each week, plus some strength training. If someone with obesity or type 2 diabetes can exercise between 6 p.m. and midnight, they might want to try it. But everyone's different. Exercise should be something you can do regularly, not something that's a struggle. If nights don't work, that's okay! Even short bits of activity during the day, like walking at lunch, are helpful. The best workout is the one you'll actually do.

<h2>Things to Keep in Mind Before You Start Working Out</h2>

If you're new to exercise or haven't been active for a while, start slowly and gradually do more. It's a good idea to work with a trainer or a friend who can help you and make sure you're being safe. This is especially important for people who are overweight, have obesity, or type 2 diabetes, because they might have other health problems that exercise can affect. Pay attention to your body and stop if you feel dizzy, have chest pain, or just don't feel good. Always talk to your doctor before starting a new workout plan, especially if you have any health problems. They can give you advice that's right for you.
