Workouts right before bed...

It might depend on the workout. For me personally, it would have to be something like yoga or stretching that would allow me to wind down before bedtime.

That's the only time I have to workout. I love it. I wear myself out so when I hit the pillow, I crash. I wake up with a clear mind and feeling awesome.

Must be hump day because I thought this thread was going somewhere else! LOL.

I do it because it's the only time I have to go. I can't do it in the morning because my husband leaves for work very early and I have to get the kids to daycare (I mean, I could, but I'd literally have to get up at 3:45am...I'm sorry, that may work great for some people but it's not happening for me, lol) and then I work all day, and then I need to come home and do dinner and hang out with my kids (NOT giving up any of my precious time with them in the evenings - that's the ONE thing that a workout will NEVER be more important than!!), and they go to bed at 8:30 or so, so that's when I go to the gym. I usually get there at 8:45 or 9 and get home around 10 and try to get to bed by 11.

It takes me a little longer to wind down at night when I work out that late, that's for sure. Plus, I'm usually starving when I get home so my little snack (some cheese or something) doesn't help that. But, it's absolutely 100% better than no work out at all, so I roll with it. I'd probably prefer to do it earlier if I could, though.

I think in the end it's all personal preference. If it works for your schedule and your sleep and everything, there's certainly no reason *not* to do it then, you know?

Night time is the only time I have to actually work out. Since I usually don't have the energy on an empty stomach, I exercise after dinner and before bed. I've been doing this for a year now, and I haven't encountered any problems with it--aside from the fact that post-workout gives me unwarranted boost of energy.

Another benefit of working out before bedtime (at least for me), is that my mind doesn't even consider eating back the calories I burned since 1) I just had dinner, and 2) getting stuffed at night is never good. Also, I feel completely refreshed the morning after.

Nope, that's actually a pic of how I have to sleep. Being 6ft5 sucks...

I usually work out around 9, any later and i have trouble sleeping

I try to work out before bed. Unlike most people though, it makes me sleepy so I'll actually sleep through the night. Didn't work out before bed last night and was wide awake at 3 am. -__-

Most definitely doing it wrong

I'm sure there are some "uh oh, now what" moments, but it beats the way most do it.

Totally fine, unless it causes you to have trouble falling asleep...

...which is my case, so I generally can't workout within 3ish hours of going to bed.

I like intense exercise at the end of the day because I don't have to hold any energy back for what life wants to throw at me during the day. It doesn't matter if I have to literally crawl into bed because there's nothing left to do.
