A new study suggests that adults with type 2 diabetes who exercise in the afternoon, between 1:43 PM to 5:00 PM, see the most improvement in their glucose levels. The study found that moderate to vigorous physical activity in the afternoon led to the biggest reduction in blood glucose levels after one year. Experts suggest that the timing of a workout may affect blood sugar levels because of factors like daily variations in hormone levels, circadian rhythms, behavioral patterns, individual responses, and interactions between physical activity and insulin.

A new study published in the journal Nature Communications found that afternoon exercise may help reduce the risk of premature death more than morning and evening workouts. Participants who exercised between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. showed significantly decreased risks of all-cause mortality as well as a lowered risk of cardiovascular disease mortality. However, any movement is good movement, and the benefits of exercising in the morning or evening include increased likelihood of sticking to a routine, feeling happier throughout the day, losing weight faster, getting more out of a workout, sleeping better, being less prone to injury, and being less stressed.
