Best times of the day to workout
3This one goes out to Wayne who asks “when is the best time to workout?”. He states that he does an hour in the morning and an hour before bed. Here’s what I suggest:
If you want to maximize fat loss, do 15-30 minutes of cardio upon waking. That means, as soon as you wake up, chug a glass of water, maybe take some liquid vitamins, coffee is optional.. and then do some cardio on an empty stomach. Follow that with 10-15 minutes of ab exercises. You’ll melt belly fat like butter!
Next, I recommend weight lifting in the late afternoon/early evening hours. For example, if you wake up at 10am, then plan on lifting weights 8-10 hours later. This gives you all day to put some good energy food in you (complex carbs/lean protein).
I don’t recommend working out an hour before bed. This is too late in the day and can even cause uneven sleep. You see, after you workout, your body’s metabolism increases and stays at a raised rate for hours after you exercise. Take advantage of this by eating your dinner following a hard workout. Then lay off foods or eat light snacks during the 4-6 hours before you sleep.
Hope this helps!

Hey Steve!
Do you have an “email to friend” option? I’d like to forward this to a friend at the same time promote your site.
Ok about 5 years ago I was tipping the scales at about 400lbs. I went to my doctor, and he told me that I had serious health issues and that I needed to loose weight, or they were afraid I was going to loose my legs. So after much research I opted to have weight loss surgery. I am now the proud owner of the Lap Band weight loss device. With the help of the awesome little thing I have since lost close to 135lbs. As great as that is I am afraid, that like all of the others that have done this radical step to better our lives, I have started to gain weight and noticed that there is more loose skin then I want. My question is this is there away that you can help me with the diet issue, and a work out that will help not only shed my unwanted extra weight but also help me not become a flabby mess.
