Answer Might Surprise You! Morning vs. Evening Training


Hey Reader,

What if the “best” time to work out isn’t as simple as you think?

Some people swear by their crack-of-dawn workouts. Others crush it in the evening. I have done both.

Morning vs. Evening: What’s the Deal?

One study found that evening workouts led to better muscle gains. Sounds great, right? But the catch is, these people were used to training at different times, which might have skewed the results.

Another study with basketball players showed afternoon workouts boosted performance. Why? Your muscles aren’t quite "awake" in the morning. So, for heavy lifting or jumping, later in the day may be better.

Here’s the twist: When people switched from morning to evening workouts, they did fine.

But those who went from evening to morning? Not so much.

What’s the Best Time for YOU?

Forget the clock! The real key is consistency. I used to be an morning guy, now I crush it in the afternoons and it works because I’m consistent.

Whether you're a morning warrior or a night owl, stick to what fits your schedule.

That’s how you win. Adhere to your plan.

Simple and easy but not sexy...

Lift Life!

The guilt after eating something “off plan.”The self-doubt that whispers, “You’ll never get there.” The comparisons to others who seem “further ahead.” None of this is why we’re here. We’re not meant to live in a cycle of judgment toward others or ourselves. It’s not who we truly are. The harsh voices in our heads that say, “You’re not good enough” or, “You’ll never change”? They’re learned behaviors. One of...

Hey Reader, We’ve all had those moments where we feel like we’re supposed to go all in... Crush intense workouts, eat perfectly clean, and have a routine so airtight that even the slightest hiccup feels like failure. But let me share something with you: Consistency beats intensity every time. Sure, those hardcore, sweat-dripping workouts feel great, but what really moves the needle long-term? It’s the little things you do every day, even when life gets crazy. Especially when life gets "cray...

Hey Reader, Fall flu and cold season has arrived. My kids classmates are swarming with germs, not my kids of course though : )Catching a cold and getting sick can feel like a setback right? You’re staying on track with your goals, feeling like a fitness rockstar, and then bam, life happens. You got sick, like I did last weekend or maybe you missed a workout or two? Or maybe you had a weekend that was... Let’s just say, nutritionally adventurous. : )We’ve all been there and it’s tempting to...
