Just like a ticking clock which follows a certain cycle, so does your body. Body also has its own time cycle, called “circadian rythm”. “Circadian rhythm” comes from Latin “circa diem” which means “in one day”.

Because of that, all physiological conditions of your body, like heart beat, blood pressure, body temperature and hormone have their own rythm, which has its peak and trough in different times on one day.

From all the hormones produces by the body, the most influential in the effectivity of your exercise is testosterone and cortysol. Besides its effect on muscle formation, testosterone can also increase the emotional stability, confidence level, mood intensity and aggresiveness of a man. Testosterone will have its peak on the morning, decrease to a lowest point in the late afternoon.

Cortysol is a hormone which is produced when the body undergoes physical or emotional pressure. Cortional also functions to increase carbohdrate, protein and fat flow in the body. These processes are needed to increase the energy availability during intense activity.

Contrasted with testosterone which helps in muscle formation, cortysol is a hormone that tears down muscles. For a maximal muscle formation, the best time to do weight-lifting exercises is when the ratio of testosterone and cortysol reached the highest point.

Arrange your date!

It’s not only her you have to give time to, muscles also need your special time for your exercising “date”. You should know which time is the most approproate time to train your muscles.
The best time to have weight lifting “date” is when the ratio of testosterone and cortysol is on its peak, when the testosterone level is high and cortysol level is low.

Eventhough testosterone hits its peak in the morning, the rising of testosterone during exercise is higher in the late afternoon. Besides, the rising of cortysol due to physical exercise reaches its low in the late afternoon. So, in the late afternoon the ratio of testosterone and cortysol reaches its maximum, an optimal condition for your muscle formation!

For you who enjoy weight-lifting exercise in the morning, no need to worry. Consume enough carbohydrate during exercises will lower your cortysol level significantly, so the muscles formation process will be more intense.

How about Cardio Exercises?

For an optimum fat burning, a lot of people suggest to do cardio exercises in the morning because it will increase the fat burning process and body’s metabolism rate all day long. Cardio exercise in the morning will “wake” us up and make us ready to do our activities with high spirit.

If you want to maximise fat burning, avoid taking breakfast before doing cardio exercises. Eating will cause the release of insulin into the blood. This hormone will affect the fat mobility, the lower the insulin, the higher the amount of fat being burn. Besides, if we eat just before cardio exercises, the fat which is being burnt is the fat you got from your meal first, then the fat in your body.

The most worrying thing, if you do cardio exercises during fasting period, it will decrease your muscle mass. After an over-night fasting, fat burning will occur more optimum. Unfortunately, this condition is also the optimum condition for muscle loss because the carbohydrate level as energy source is very low and cortysol level is too high.

To prevent the muscle loss, do not do excessive cardio exercises. Cardio exercise during fasting is better not more than 30 minutes with medium intensity. Besides, fulfill your body’s need with a balance protein and carbohydrate consumption.

After you date with your muscles, do not forget to set aside some time with your other half. Your muscle forming will be worthless. Don’t you develop your muscles to be hugged by her?
