    As long as it doesn't interfere with your sleep, go for it! No such thing as a bad time for exercise!

    whatever time works for you is the best time. I usually try and work out during the day but there were times I did late at night and it has never kept me up. I actually slept like a baby those nights :tongue:

    24 hour fitness.

  • I used to do a boot camp class at 7:30 pm twice a week, very intense work out! be shaking and hard to stand. It worked great for me because my kids were in bed, you should eat a little something after though, protien is always bed, apples with peanut butter. you dont want a sugar crash. Have your snack prepared before the work out so you dont go for the candy. You need a few hours between works outs and sleep. I wouldnt suggest going to sleep at 10 if you just finished a work out. I would go to sleep at 11 when i did boot camp but I slept great!

    I do most of my exercise around 9pm. Your body doesn't care when you do it, just that you do it.

    If you abso0lutly have to workout at that time then its better than nothing. Honestly though its better workout 1 1/2hrs after you eat breakfast or if your just doing cardio first thing when you wake up before you eat.

    Yeah I certainly hope not. I usually don't get home from work until after 10:30pm and even then I have to eat dinner before I work out so it's usually after midnight before I get around to it lol.

    I can't workout too close to bed time or I'm wired!!! I need at least 2-3 hours to chill out and get sleepy.

    I did the 30DS at 10pm tonite. I really didn't want to, but I knew if I didn't I would be disappointing myself. Glad now that I did it. Icing my knee as I type. :)
