Morning Burn vs Nighttime Build!

Morning Burn vs Nighttime Build!

May 5, 2025

It’s fair to say that if you work out, you probably have pretty concrete answers when it comes to the why and the how. But one area where fitness enthusiasts tend to be divided is the when.

The short (and diplomatic) answer is “As long as you exercise regularly, that’s what really matters.” And it’s hard to argue with that, at least when you’re talking about people who are just starting out and/or just need to get off the couch.

But that’s not you, is it? You don’t just want to work out; you have specific fitness goals that you want to achieve – goals that might be as varied as your workouts themselves. So, what’s it going to be? Rise and grind or burn the midnight oil? Well, that answer is even shorter (and yet, somehow more complicated): It depends.

What's your goal?

Generally speaking, there are certain benefits tied to both morning and evening workouts.

Working out in the morning kick-starts your metabolism and floods your body with endorphins that can sustain your energy level and mood throughout the day. Plus, it releases cortisol, which helps your brain form habits – the good kind you’ll need to stick to your workout routine.

On the other hand, working out in the evening is a great way to counteract a day that might have been filled with a whole lot of nothing, at least in terms of physical activity. It’s a great way to unwind, which will help you sleep better, as long as you don’t start too close to bedtime.

Simple, right? Almost too simple, really. You want specific results tied to specific times of the day. Not to worry: We’ve got you.

If you want to burn fat, you should work out at 6 a.m. – and on an empty stomach. Again, no real surprise here, but experts add that your morning cardio should be relatively slow and steady: Think 45 minutes of light jogging.

When you add M6 Metabolism Optimization, you’ll burn fat more efficiently, prevent fat storage, boost your mood and even curb your unhealthy cravings.

M6 contains a core blend of 4 unique, all-natural ingredients, plus just enough caffeine to fuel your workout without jitters or crashes.

Now, if you want to build muscle, embrace the night. Your muscles actually gain strength and endurance throughout the day, so you’ll be able to lift more and work out longer by the time you hit the gym. And even if you’re just doing some yoga or Pilates, your muscles will be more flexible in the evening because the body’s core temperature peaks around 6 p.m.

And if you want to bulk up even faster, our PA7 Natural Muscle Booster can help you do just that. PA7 contains a clinically proven blend of 3 all-natural ingredients to help you gain more lean muscle and recover from your workout faster.
