exercise before or after dinner in the evening?

maru84 · May 2012

I am always tired after I exercise, like it melts away the stress and leaves me relaxed. When I exercise in the am, I am more tired through the day. So I like to exercise at night- if I am walking, it can be an hour or so after dinner, but if it's zumba or aerobics I'll wait till like 9 pm. It doesn't affect calorie burn or anything, might affect your energy levels though. Just listen to your body and do what works for you.

Hi

Which is best?

I find that mostly do it after dinner probably hour to 2 hours later?

I workout before dinner. The thought of dinner spurs me on during my training and motivates me no end :bigsmile:

^^^^^THIS!

I work out after the little one is down for the night so I usually start around 9 or 9:30, depending on how cooperative he is being

Before dinner for me. If I ate then worked out I would probably puke and who wants to go to bed with puke breath? LOL

Before dinner after I get home from work because I always get cramps when I run after eating a meal. I do make sure to eat a piece of fruit or some nuts before and then load up on a protein rich dinner after my evening jog.
