Is there a “Best” Time of Day to Exercise?

Some experts agree that the best time of day to exercise is the time that works best for you. If you have found a time of day that feels good and works for you – then stick with it!

Regular daily exercise.

Others disagree, stating that there is a “best” time of day to exercise, determined by an individual’s circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are the body’s “internal clock.” They control blood pressure, sleep cycles, body temperature, metabolism and even temperament.

Researchers examining the influence of circadian rhythms on exercise have found that body temperature is an important variable in determining the quality of one’s exercise program. Body temperature is at its lowest during the one to three hours before you awaken. When body temperature is low, muscles are tight and blood flow is reduced, making your early morning workouts more sluggish and increasing your chances of injury.

On the other hand, early afternoon and evening workouts are more productive because you are more alert, your body temperature is higher, your muscles are warmer and more flexible and your lung function is at its peak. Working out after a tough day at the office is also a terrific way to release stress and it helps control the amount of food you eat at the dinner table!

However, a consistent exercise routine is what really matters and, when added to getting the proper amount of sleep, a healthy diet and receiving regular chiropractic adjustments, provides the framework for a healthy and satisfying lifestyle.

Dr W. R. Asks some important questions of interest to McComb residents - Chiropractor McComb Dr W. R. Asks...

How do you know when you're healthy?
Ask most McComb residents this simple question and you're likely to hear, "When you feel good" or "When you're at your proper weight for your height" or "When you have lots of energy and vitality." Great answers. But our chiropractic patients know that true health is when your body is working as it was designed. True health is how you function, not how you feel.
Why are some people allergic to pollen and others aren't?
It's not the pollen. Chiropractors know that if it were, everyone would be allergic to pollen, nuts and pet dander. But that's not the case. It's the person, not the pollen! If you live in McComb and your stress levels are high, then each year the grass, the trees or the weeds put your nervous system over the top. Many report that chiropractic care helps reduce the frequency and severity of their allergic response.
