For two weeks, the participants randomly assigned to the morning group worked out at 10 a.m., while those in the evening group worked out at 6 p.m. People assigned to the control group just didn’t go to the gym — but instead, they were asked to watch a video of the exercise routine on a handheld device.

The researchers found that both morning- and evening-exercising groups lost similar amounts of weight during the trial, but that after the trial’s eight weeks, the evening-exercise group had regained more weight than those who exercised in the morning. This finding seemed to be based on a biological, not a behavioral, reason — meaning that your body doesn’t know what time of day you go to the gym.
