Everyone wants to know… When’s the BEST time to exercise? Morning or evening?

The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer.

Morning workouts can boost energy, improve weight control, and support better training results over time.

Afternoon or evening workouts can help balance blood sugar, reduce stiffness, and be more practical for night owls.

You can even split it up, move a little in the morning and again later in the day—for more flexibility, focus, and stress relief. 🏃‍♀️✨

Bottom line? The best time to exercise is the time you’ll actually do it. Even 5 minutes counts!

At The Woodlands Institute for Health and Wellness, we encourage you to find the rhythm that works for your body and your lifestyle, because movement is medicine. 💪

Tired of packing the same lunches and wondering if they’re really fueling your kids well?

This school year, let’s give your child’s lunchbox a wellness upgrade.

💡 Small changes = big impact on their focus, mood, and energy.
Try these easy swaps:

🥪 Skip the white bread—go for meat roll-ups or protein-packed salads
🍿 Swap chips for veggie chips, hummus + veggies, or homemade trail mix
🍪 Ditch the brownies for a KIND bar or dark chocolate + nut mix
🥤 Trade sugary drinks for water or clean fruit juice pouches
✨ Bonus: Prep salads, fruits, and protein ahead of time on Sundays!

Because real food = real fuel.

And good health starts in the lunchbox.
