Myth: The best time to work out is first thing in the morning.

Truth: The best time for a workout is whatever time allows you to exercise most consistently. Ideally, you want to make physical fitness a daily habit, so if late-night trips to the gym are your thing, stick with it. If you prefer a morning run, do that instead.

Don't have a preference? Some research does suggest that working out first thing in the morning might help speed weight loss by priming the body to burn more fat throughout the day.
