Turns out that the time you exercise is as important as the moves you do—and mornings get top marks. Researchers at Bangor University in the United Kingdom found that people exercise longer and harder in the a.m., possibly because that’s when they feel more alert and energetic.

That’s good to know because higher-intensity workouts make it easier to burn calories and tone your body. Don’t do mornings? Fit in some exercise right after work.
