Late-day exercise can relieve stress: Exercise is always a good way to relieve stress, but working out at night can really help you blow off some steam. The surge of endorphins you get during and after exercise can be a sweet nightcap that helps you wind down before bed.

The article from CNET discusses the optimal times for exercising based on various factors including personal body clocks, lifestyle, and scientific research. It highlights that while there's no universally "best" time to exercise, individual preferences and physiological responses play significant roles. Morning workouts can help kickstart metabolism, increase alertness, and might be beneficial for weight loss due to lower body temperatures and higher fat oxidation rates. However, evening workouts could potentially lead to better performance due to higher body temperatures, more flexible muscles, and peak lung function. The article also notes that exercising at any time can be beneficial, but consistency is key. It suggests considering one's chronotype (whether you're a morning or evening person), work schedules, and personal fitness goals when deciding the best time to exercise. Additionally, it mentions that some studies suggest late afternoon or early evening might be optimal for peak physical performance, but individual results can vary.
