But if you knew the exact time time of day your workout could bring you health benefits, would you be more motivated?

It turns out getting sweaty mid-afternoon might protect you from premature death more so than morning and evening workouts.

Scientists from Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute in China found people who workedout in the mid-afternoon - between midday and 5pm - had a lower risk of dying, both in general and from heart disease. 

The researchers, publishing in the journal Nature could not explain why exercising at lunchtime was more favourable.

But they pointed to previous studies which suggest the body is best at recovering from exercising between midday and 5pm - which could be beneficial to those at risk of heart issues compounded by exercise.

The Chinese experts studied 92,000 people and found those who worked out in the mid-afternoon had a lower risk of dying, compared to evening and morning exercisers.

The same held true for people with "mixed" exercise times, who regularly changed their workout schedules.
