What Is The Best Time of Day to Exercise?
Dear Friend,
Should I train in the morning? Should I train during lunch hour?
Or should I train at night?
The answer to all of the above is .... "Yes."
Really and truly - forget all the crap about "best time of day to train."
Even if there really is a best time of day to train, even if
those who train at that time get such-and-such benefits,
the fact is that the whole world is not on one time clock.
The key thing to remember is make sure you do "something"
everyday.
If you saw my email from yesterday - "Get Fit One Minute at a Time"
- (if you missed it you can go to here
and catch up) you'll recall that you can dramatically improve your
health and fitness by exercising in one-minute increments.
My brother Sean recently told me a story he heard from a top
fitness instructor, about a man in a wheelchair, who couldn't do
anything but deep breathing exercises. He started doing them along
with abdominal flexing, similar to what I teach in Combat Abs and lost 40 pounds.
Now, assuming this story is true, and I believe it is, what would happen
if the same man took one minute a day for Hindu pushups or one minute
a day for Hindu squats? Or bridging?
I think anyone who gets on a program that consists of one minute of
exercise each day - will be far better off a year from now than if he or
she simply sat on the ole rumpus watching tee-vee.
If you do more than one minute of exercise, will you get even more
results? Of course.
But Rome wasn't built in a day - and when it comes to exercise, because
most people are suffering from "major impatience syndrome" you actually
do them a disservice to demand 30 minutes - or 60 - or more. Just get
people started. That's half the battle.
Getting back to Rome - if you start by laying one brick a day - pretty soon
that'll be no big deal in your mind and you'l graduate to two bricks ... and so
on.
Before long you'll be laying bricks all day long and think nothing of it.
Reminds me of the time Karl Gotch told me the following, "If you don't want
people to learn anything, try to teach them everything."
The meaning of this is clear: Overload the mind and most people will have
zero retention. On the other hand, if you continue to hammer the same
message over and over and over again - the message will eventually sink
in.
You want to know something interesting? I have been hammering the value
of Hindu squats, Hindu pushups and bridging for seven years.
I have been hammering the importance of deep breathing for more than
10 years.
And I don't plan on stopping now.
If I can simply get people to do the Royal Court of Combat Conditioning and/or the Magnificent
Seven in Combat Abs - then I've succeeded. And if people never go beyond
these two programs, they should succeed.
At the same time, when a student is so thrilled with his results that he wants
more ... well then, there will be more.
So forget the "morning is better vs. evening is better" debate. Just make
time for exercise every day. Start with a minute and go from there.
Kick butt - take names!
