It can be very difficult to find the perfect time for training. Research points in many different directions. If it depended on me, it would be in the middle of your day. This means that if your circadian rhythms are correct, you should train around 12:00 - 15:00. There are many reasons for this answer. 1. When you wake up your blood sugar level is at a minimum. This is obviously going to impede strength and endurance. This is also the reason why people recommend doing morning exercise to burn fat, because the theory is that you will not burn sugar because your blood sugar is very low, instead your body will go for fat. How true that is, I'm not sure. In my opinion, it is better to train after a few meals because the blood sugar level is not so low, and you will, in turn, be slightly stronger, as some studies show. Also, if you happen to burn more fat by working out in the morning,  would you not burn the same amount of fat by working out later in the day if you can train har...

1. Doing Countless Abdominal Exercises will eventually Eliminate Abdominal Fat. Bad news: spot reduction does not work on excess fat, whether it's abdominals or other parts of the body. Abdominal exercise can increase strength and endurance, but it does not necessarily burn abdominal fat. If you really want to get rid of those stubborn fats, you will need to create a caloric deficit by making adjustments to your diet and constantly doing cardio, strength and flexibility exercises.  2. You can Work your Muscles Everyday Many people mistakenly believe that their muscles grow while they train. In truth, the muscles grow between the training sessions. Therefore, you can not expect your muscles to develop and grow if you do not give them adequate rest. Everything the muscle group of your body needs is enough protein and rest to grow. 3. Doing Workouts Automatically Entitles you to a Toned Body A lot of work is done because they have been led to believe that it is necessary...
