When is the Best Time of Day to Workout? One of the most common questions I get asked is, “When is the best time of day to workout?”. Great question…and I have a really simple answer for you. So simple, in fact, that you might not like my answer, but here it goes: The best time of day to workout is…(drum roll, please) whatever time of day that works best for you! This means, whatever time of day that you can workout on a consistent basis to reach your goal and maintain it.
