When is the Best Time of Day to Workout?Written by Michael Stefano
When Is Best Time of Day to Work OutFor many of us, busy schedules make deciding when to exercise a simple process. A poll of 100 people was taken on www.firefightersworkout.com; twenty-eight percent of us exercise any time we can, a dead heat with those who prefer an evening workout. The most popular time to exercise? The morning, getting 44 votes out of 100 viewers polled. The least favorite time to give body a tune-up was during afternoon. Those pesky busy schedules prohibit most of us luxury of squeezing in mid-afternoon sessions at gym. But according to latest research, are we doing right thing by exercising in early part of day?

We can continue to kid ourselves and vow never to eat another fast food meal again, and really, this time mean it, get real! We're hungry and in a hurry, and lets face it; crave those hot, salty fries and great tasting burgers. We give in, devour these conveniently quick served value meals from local fast food joint found on every other corner, and with in minutes, satisfaction. Then it hits you. How many calories, how much fat, and we do this every time we go to mall, (we know shopping and lunch go hand and hand) and every time cooking seems to become a undesirable task. How do we allow that seducing aroma and instant gratification take over again? Luckily, over past few years' fast food restaurants finally gotta clue. They now offer some healthier, yet still tasty alternatives; grilled chicken sandwiches, broiled burgers, delicious salads, and pitas stuffed with fresh vegetables. Life in fast food lane does not have to mean life in fat lane anymore. With a little knowledge and willpower, we can put our best fork forward, and still enjoy luxury of fast food. Eating a meal or two at Burger King, (which by way is my favorite), or Taco Bell, (which is my other favorite), isn't going to hurt all that much. But if you want to reduce fat, calories, and guilt that come with such indulgences, make better choices.
