When is the best time to workout in the day for fat loss?

In this episode of The Evolving Wellness Podcast, I chat with guest Rob Jacobs about the best time in the day one can workout to maximize fat loss. Rob explains how the answer to this question may differ based on what kind of exercises you are doing, but that workout timing is just as important as nutrient timing following that workout.

Rob also shares how different types of workouts can affect cortisol, i.e. your nervous system. Exercise is a stressor for your body and if your nervous system is already overloaded, overly strenuous workouts may not help you progress further but only cause your body more harm. That’s why it’s important to chose appropriate workouts based on what your nervous system can handle.

As an international Lecturer/Coach and Published author, Rob Jacobs has spent the last 21 years as a strength and conditioning coach. Coaching professional athletes, physique and bikini competitors, strongman competitors, title holders and World Champions in Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Judoka's for Team USA. Rob has been coached and mentored privately by the late Charles Poliquin. He has spent years studying directly under Charles and other acclaimed coaches like Loren Seagrave (Track & Field), Boris Sheiko (powerlifting) Jud Logan (Track & Field), Derek Woodske, Andre Benoit and functional medicine doctors Dr Robert Silverman and Dr. Bob Rakowski.
