Swimming in the morning or evening?

Question

Which is better? Going to swim laps in the morning (6-8 am) or late at night (8-11 pm)? I'm trying to lose weight and tone up.

Answer 1

i would choose 6-8 am before breakfast because I heard you are not suppose to swim when you are in the process of digesting, now if you dont have dinner 8 -11pm  and prefer nights I dont think it matters what time you swim if you want to loose weight.

Answer 2

I had a friend who swore it was better to get cardio at night.  He explained that it pumps up your metabolism all night while your sleeping and not eating.  When you start the day exercising, you get hungry and eat and that can slow back down your metabolism.  I've never seen it in Exercise mags but he was a personal trainer and looked great.

Although I have read that people who work out at the start of the day stick with the program better statistically.  It was like 10 -20% better I think.  Less things to get in your way if your in the pool by 6am.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

I would swim in the morning before you eat breakfast. I find that I always feel relaxed and at ease after a good swim so it's nice to carry that feeling through the rest of the day at work.

Answer 4

In the morning is always the best, I heard about this on the news, it has to do with how you've been sleeping for at least 6 hours and your digestion should be completed or something.

Answer 5

going to swim laos in the morning is better

Answer 6

It really doesnt matter what TIME you swim, as long as your excersising and keeping your body moving.

If you have to pick between these two times though, I'd pick the night one just because its longer. The longer the better !

Good luck, swimming is the fastest way to lose weight. :)

Answer 7

Either. It depends on if you are a morning or night person. As long as you have the same workout it should work either way.
