Why timing matters for fitness on LinkedIn
LinkedIn's algorithm prioritizes dwell time and meaningful comments. Posting during business hours maximizes the chance of professionals seeing and engaging with your content during their workday browsing.
Two peak windows: 5-7 AM (pre-workout motivation) and 5-7 PM (post-work gym planning). Weekend mornings (8-10 AM) also perform well for workout content.
