Welcome to Fit Body Happy Joints. My name is Shannon today. I want to do something a little different and answer some questions that we've gotten from our community recently.

And if you're not an Evelo member, of course, I'll make sure that you get value out of this too so keep

listening whether you're a member or not so question number one I've been getting this

one a lot lately what time of day is the best time to work out?

Doesn't matter what time of day you work out.

In short, it does not matter.

Studies show that hypertrophy is similar regardless of the time of day the training session took place.

There could be some marginal differences and it likely depends on the individual and their

own circadian rhythms, for example.

Some people might feel really energized at 7 PM and maybe that's the best time for them to work

out.

Some people might feel more energized at 10. and that might be the best time for

them to work out. But what's really the most important is that you're

consistent and if you are trying to match your energy levels to what time of day you work out.

It just might not be super feasible or realistic for your schedule.

And because studies aren't showing a huge difference in results no matter really what time

of day someone works out, just do what you can

stay consistent with. So as long as you are consistently training, you're

getting close to failure, you're eating properly, you're sleeping well, you're recovering,

it's really not going to matter what time of day you work out.

So hopefully that gives you all some relief in that you can really do it anytime.

Question number two, I can feel my glutes better in a bridge or a hip thrust than something like a lunge.
