What time is too late to workout?

tmthorn0927

I work 4 ten hours days M-Th. I get up at 530am and cannot see getting up any earlier. I get off at 530pmish.... There is a Body Combat class at my gym at 730pm for an hour...

Is that too late to work out and get a good nights sleep?? I try to go to bed 930pm - 10pm. Truthfully, I don't sleep well because my husband works night so maybe it will make me tired? I really like taking the classes because I burn more than when I do treadmill/eliptical on my own. I ENJOY having someone tell me what to do

Thoughts...:smooched:

I have no idea, but I work out with my husband when he gets home, usually around 9:30, and end up in bed around 11... ive noticed I have been sleeping alot deeper and waking up before my alarm. I alot myself a 20 minute cool down in between.. Whatever works for you I guess, but I am no professional by any means!

I don't see a problem with it. You'll adjust.

You'll react in one of two ways.
You're either going to be beat, and sleep like a baby.
Or your adrenaline will be high and you'll have trouble getting to sleep at first.

I have soccer matches around 7 on sundays, and sometimes the adrenalin makes it hard to fall asleep, but you adapt.

It usually helps me sleep better when I workout late. Just think, it would help you burn more calories in your sleep! LOL

I work out late. I work full time and have 2 kids. I have to workout after they are in bed. I usually work out around 9:30 also.

It actually makes me sleep better, I am a nurse and sometimes I don't get to work out till midnight depending on when I get off work. I have been sleeping much better the last two weeks than previously. Good luck to you.

Do it!

We can train ourselves to operate just fine on most any schedule.

Hey you have a similar schedule as I do. I get up about 5:45 am and get home around 7/8pm I don't get a chance to work out until 8ish most days. Hit the sack about 10:30 and my husband works nights.

Working out that late wears me out, after I take my shower and get into bed I sleep awesome. Much better than I usually do because I toss when my husbands not there.

I say, whenever you can get a workout in do it!

You will adjust no matter what, its never too late. Expect a rush of energy shortly after your work out, usually a warm bath helps me. I dont work out until 9, and usually go until 10:30 every night.
