Question:
Is it bad to work out late at night?
sometimes in the middle of the night at like 10 or 11:30 i get this sudden urge to hop on the treadmill or jump rope. I know exercising.period. is good, but I wasn't sure if it was bad for my health to do it late at night.
Answers:
Depends on what your sleep habits are. I for one work graveyard shift, so I have no choice but to work out in the afternoon. Its not like working out has really ever hurt anyone (unless its done in the extreme, which is rare), so as long as you are eating right and getting the recommended amount of sleep for your body, you should be fine. I HAVE read studies that say working out prior to eating in the morning (if thats your schedule) helps to burn more fat, but thats another topic.
