How late is too late to workout?

Ok so it's Friday and I've had alot going on today, worked extra hard, got my nails done, tightied up a bit when I got home, did a lil homework and then I took a break to cook and eat. Then, I had guests stop by for a short visit and now I'm logging my dinner and realized I haven't had my PM workout yet. My calories are looking good cuz I worked out for 30 mins this morning but I've still gotta get in the other 30-60mins of exercise for the day. It's currently 9:55pm. IS IT IS TOO LATE TO EXERCISE? Bcuz part of me want to, but the other side of me says its Friday and I should rest.

  • I work out late evenings as well when I need to... For me personally, I believe our bodies do not know when it is midnight and the new day begins. As long as your body is not too tired or you will risk injury. Best wishes! xx

    I've been doing the really early bike riding (ie. 5am). When I went out late, the bugs were really bad. I think if I was going to work out late, that I would probably hit the gym.

    The only issure I could see would be having too much energy afterwards and not being able to sleep... Otherwise I say go for it!

    I work out in the evenings most of the time. Actually 75% of the time it isn't till after I get the kiddos to bed and wait for them to fall asleep. Its just to hard to workout with a 4 and 2 yr old and my hubby is on the road a lot. I actually love it. huge stress reliever after a long day. Find I sleep better on those nights.

    I *STARTED* my run at 11PM last night :laugh:

    So, ultimately, "workout time" is when you make it...
