night workout

[retired_klswan]

Well,
Its tough finding times to work out durning the day, because im always busy. So I spend about thirty minutes each night working out, then I drink some water and head off to bed.
Is it a good idea to work out and go stright to bed? Am I doing somthing to harm my body?
If so, can you please tell me ways I can benifit myself as I work out at night.
Thanks.

I'd say it's a bad idea, only because you;d probably have a bit of difficulty going to sleep after it.

It's optimal to go to bed earlier, wake up earlier and do it in the morning.
Morning is the best time, and it set's your body's metabolism and such for the entire day

if that is the only time you have go for it,its better than doing nothing but i would at least have a protein shake before bed maybe with some peanut butter.

It won't hurt you, I work out at night quite often. Although during summer, it's harder to fall asleep, so maybe not recommended then.

Its possible it can alter your endocrine function in regard to the hormones related to sleep(Melatonin as as well as others).

what exactly is the time of which you start the workout?
