And how to optimize your workouts, no matter the time.
But, if evenings are the only time you can exercise, that's all right. “There is always a benefit to working out, so if you have to do it in the evening, that is okay,” Nicola says. The key is understanding how to tweak your p.m. routine so that it doesn’t mess with your sleep.Firstly, it’s important to understand why evening workouts can work against you.
The best way around this is timing your workouts so that you're able to finish eating dinner at least 1.5 to two hours before going to sleep, Nicola says. “You don't want to be working out at 9 p.m., whether it's cardio or weights. That will disrupt sleep and throw you off the following day,” she says—unless you are a serious night owl.
So what does this mean for the majority of American exercisers? “If you can get the workout in at 6 p.m., that provides ample time to rest, recover, eat dinner, and prepare for sleep.”
