What is the Best Time of Day to Exercise ?

While exercising at any time is healthier than parking your bum on the sofa, your workout schedule can make a difference in your performance. You have a circadian rhythm that plays a large part in energy levels, and learning how your body works will allow you to choose the best timing for your exercise sessions.

Peak Performance Time

According to the American Council on Exercise, the optimal time to exercise is in the late afternoon, when your body is warmest. This is also when your muscles are more flexible, your body is at its strongest and your blood pressure and heart rate are low. You will feel as though you're exerting less energy than at other times--even while performing identical activities--and you'll have faster reaction skills.

 
That said, if you already have an exercise schedule, you'll probably perform better by sticking to your current routine. Your body is an adaptable machine and changes to accommodate your activity. So if you run every day at noon, this will become your peak-performance hour. You can use this strategy when training for an athletic competition--train at the same time as the event to help give your best performance on the big day.

1.          if you already have an exercise schedule

Explain : According to me, the word already showed that the event was past because described activity in the past based on schedule and then this is including conditional sentence type 2.

2.          This is also when your muscles are more flexible

Explain : According to me, the word are (to be) and word are showed that muscles more than one or anything uncountable and the tense is simple present.

3.          You can use this strategy when training for an athletic competition

Explain : According to me, this sentence is a suggestion because any sentence (you can use). It that contains a command / instruction for planning that you will do.

Articles

General | A/an | The | No article

Articles

First the good news:There are only three articles in English: a, an and the.

There are two types of articles indefinite 'a' and 'an' or definite 'the'.

 You also need to know when not to use an article.

The bad news is that their proper use is complex, especially when you get into the advanced use of English. Quite often you have to work it out by what sounds right, which can be frustrating for a learner.

Indefinite articles - a and an (determiners)

A and an are the indefinite articles. They refer to something not specifically known to the person you are communicating with.

A and an are used before nouns that introduce something or someone you have not mentioned before:-

For example:

"I saw an elephant this morning."
"I ate a banana for lunch."

A and an are also used when talking about your profession:

For example:

"I am an English teacher."
"I am a builder."

You use a when the noun you are referring to begins with a consonant (b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y or z), for example, "a city", "a factory", and "a hotel".

You use an when the noun you are referring to begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u)

Pronunciation changes this rule. It's the sound that matters, not the spelling. 

Note! 

If the next word begins with a consonant sound when we say it, for example, "university" then we use a.

If the next word begins with a vowel sound when we say it, for example "hour", then we use an.

We say "university" with a "y" sound at the beginning as though it were spelt "youniversity".

So, "a university" IS correct.

We say "hour" with a silent h as though it were spelt "our".
So, "an hour" IS correct.

(Lots of people get this wrong - including native speakers.)

Definite Article - the (determiners)

There are two ways to pronounce "the".

One "thuh" and the other "thee". To learn how to pronounce them see the pronunciation files: How to pronounce "the".

We use the when you have already mentioned the thing you are talking about.

example:

"She's got two children; a girl and a boy. The girl's eight and the boy's fourteen."

We use the to talk about geographical points on the globe.

example:

the North Pole, the equator

We use the to talk about rivers, oceans and seas

example:

the Nile, the Pacific, the English channel

We also use the before certain nouns when we know there is only one of a particular thing.

example:

the rain, the sun, the wind, the world, the earth, the White House etc..

However if you want to describe a particular instance of these you should use a/an.

example:

"I could hear the wind." / "There's a cold wind blowing." "What are your plans for the future?" / "She has a promising future ahead of her."

The is also used to say that a particular person or thing being mentioned is the best, most famous, etc. In this use, 'the' is usually given strong pronunciation whether or not it preceeds a vowel:

For example:

"Harry's Bar is the place to go." "You don't mean you met the Tony Blair, do you?"

Note ! -     The doesn't mean all:

Forexample:

"The books are expensive." = (Not all books are expensive, just the ones I'm talking about.) "Books are expensive." = (All books are expensive.)

No article

We usually use no article to talk about things in general:-

Inflation is rising. People are worried about rising crime. (Note! People generally, so no article)

You do not use an article when talking about sports.

For example:

My son plays football. Tennis is expensive.

You do not use an article before uncountable nouns when talking about them generally.

For example:

Information is important to any organisation. Coffee is bad for you.

You do not use an article before the names of countries except where they indicate multiple areas or contain the words (state(s), kindom, republic, union). Kingdom, state, republic and union are nouns, so they need an article.

For example:

No article - Italy, Mexico, Bolivia, England Use the - the UK (United Kingdom), the USA (United States of America), the Irish Republic Multiple areas! the Netherlands, the Philippines, the British Isles
