The question of when to a person is better to train - in the morning or in the evening, has been discussed by specialists for a long time, there is no definite answer to it. Here we need an individual approach. 1. If life for you begin only in the evening, and getting up in the morning is equated to pain, then for you the best time for training is evening. If you are a "lark" and since childhood you have become accustomed to get up at this time, then morning exercises will be optimal for you. 2. If you are mainly engaged in mental work and spend most of the day in the chair in front of the monitor, then it would be nice for you to go to the gym in the evening. But if you're running around all day for clients or working in the office, then it's better to train in the morning, because in the evening you will not have the strength to train. 3. Much depends on the state of human health. For example, if you have heart problems, do not try to train in the morning. When we sleep, our heart rests and the blood circulates more slowly. For several hours after sleep in the human body such phenomena as rapid heart rate, accelerated metabolism, increased blood pressure are observed. And the additional load can lead to adverse consequences. 4. Determine the goal for yourself. If this weight loss, then you need to train in the morning. This is due to the fact that after sleep, the blood sugar level is lowered, and if you exercise before breakfast, the body will be forced to draw energy not from carbohydrates, but from fat. Therefore, morning workouts can lose weight three times more efficiently than evening exercises. A workout on an empty stomach burn 300% more fat than training after eating.    The conclusions may be that it is up to the physiology of a person to decide at what time of the day to train - in the morning, in the afternoon or in the evening. If you are a night person - train in the evening, morning person - in the morning. Do not excruciate the body, doing the opposite. There will be no benefit from this. And if you chose a time, do not change it in the future.

it's obvious that morning training is better to help increase body activity and enhance circulation,

but due to modern age now i recommend that every person should train in any suitable time for him, after large meal with 2 hours .

it's recommended for person to talk one small portion of carbs like one baby banana and small cup of coffe sugar free 30 min before  the workout
