Should we exercise first and then meditate or vice-versa? Please guide.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

It is good to meditate after finishing your exercises. Even if you meditate immediately after getting up in the morning and then do your exercises, that is also fine. Both are alright. You do both and see which approach suits you more. It is good to meditate during the Brahma-muhurtam (the period between 3 AM – 5 AM), but you need not deliberately sacrifice your sleep to get up at that hour to meditate.
