Should You Mix It Up?If your schedule allows, consider splitting workouts: cardio in the morning, strength in the evening. Experiment, track results, and find what works best for you.___________________________________________________________
I used to work out in the mornings before breakfast but later switched to afternoon sessions, which gave me more stamina. However, exercising too late can leave you wired. One night, unable to ruck outside due to snow, I rucked my stairs indoors. Big mistake - I was so energized I couldn't fall asleep until after 2:30 AM! I now just work out in the afternoon and that works real well for me.
