If you want a healthy heart and lungs, what time of day is best to exercise?

Exercise is one of the most important habits for maintaining heart and lung health. Choosing the right time to exercise can help reduce the burden on the heart, optimize the amount of oxygen your lungs take in, and improve endurance.

Blood pressure tends to be higher in the morning. This means that for some people, the cardiovascular system will be under more pressure in the morning. Therefore, if you exercise intensely right after waking up, it can increase the burden on the heart and blood vessels, according to the health website Healthline (USA).

Regarding breathing, some studies show that our lungs function best around noon and afternoon. In other words, the lungs' ability to breathe deeply and exchange oxygen is often higher during this time frame. Therefore, when exercising at noon or afternoon, breathing will feel more open and comfortable than early morning.

However, there are also many advantages to exercising in the morning. Mornings are convenient for maintaining a routine. Morning exercise helps stabilize blood pressure 24 hours later and regulates circadian rhythms.

Because blood pressure is often higher in the morning, people with high blood pressure or cardiovascular risk factors should warm up thoroughly and gradually increase the intensity of their exercise. They should avoid suddenly jumping into heavy exercise right after waking up.

Exercising in the afternoon and evening helps control blood pressure and blood sugar.

Meanwhile, some recent research syntheses also show that exercising in the afternoon or evening can help control blood pressure and blood sugar better. However, this effect may vary depending on the person and their training goals.

In addition, our lungs often function best in the afternoon. Therefore, exercising during this time frame, the practitioner can feel easier to breathe, more flexible and less tired when running, cycling or doing high-intensity exercises.

In general, depending on each person's constitution, preferences and personal conditions, the best time to exercise for the heart and lungs will be determined. For healthy people without underlying diseases, the best time to exercise is when they can maintain a regular exercise routine.

For people with high blood pressure, exercising in the evening can be more effective in controlling blood pressure. If the morning is the favorite time to exercise, they need to warm up thoroughly, avoid sudden high-intensity exercise, and consider taking medication on time as advised by a doctor to control blood pressure in the morning. These methods will help reduce the risk of blood pressure easily increasing in the morning.

If you have asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), you should choose your exercise time based on your symptoms. In particular, healthy people's lungs usually function best in the afternoon or evening, so exercising at this time will often make it easier for them to breathe. However, people with asthma or COPD may not have the same lung function. Some people even find it harder to breathe in the afternoon.

Therefore, the best way is to record the time of day when the patient feels short of breath or wheezing and determine the time frame when the body is comfortable. Prioritize choosing the time to exercise when the body feels most comfortable and easy to breathe. If the doctor prescribes bronchodilators, you can take them before exercising according to the instructions. This way, the patient can maintain a regular exercise rhythm, protect the lungs and avoid shortness of breath when exercising, according to Healthline .
