We are finding that the timing of aerobic exercise can provide an additional benefit in controlling stress. If you exercise at the end of a high pressure day—prior to the evening meal—aerobic activity can help to dissipate the stress you feel, relax you more, and even energize you so that you can continue to work or play much later into the evening than might be possible otherwise. Also, this sort of late afternoon exercise helps to depress the appetite if you are constantly fighting a weight problem.
