When to exercise?

I have asked a lot of professionals, and have read a lot of different views on this topic, and overall it seems like the best time to exercise is in the morning, before breakfast. It's gets the metabolism going, and gives you more energy for the day.

Personally I prefer (and so does Louise) to exercise in the mornings. For me, I find that it really gives me energy for the whole day. And I also love the fact I can come home from work and not have to think about exercising. I can come home, organise my dinner and relax for the evening and spend time reading, watching TV, chatting with my boyfriend.

The important thing is to follow the exercise with a healthy low-GI breakfast. Exercise and a healthy breakfast will set you up for the day. You won't feel like eating crap like sugary or carbohydrates, you won't even feel like having a coffee and I think you are more creative and sociable too, your work is better and your mood throughout the day is improved.

Why wait until the end of the day to exercise and be in a good mood :) :)

Some suggestions for a healthy low-GI breakfast are:
- porridge, or slow oats (not the quick oats!)
- good organic muesli with fruit
- a low-GI shake with added fruit and nuts (please contact us for more info on the Nutrimeal shakes we use)

So if you can, get your exercise gear together at night, set the alarm clock and do your daily exercise routine in the morning. You will definitely feel the benefits, I can vouch for that!
