The Itch to Workout at Night - Good or Bad?
Published: Sun, 06/30/13
Some people argue as to when it's the best time to train
Some say that early morning is best, but others say mid afternoon is optimal
both of these groups have tons of research and scientific studies to back up their claims
And while it's cool to have something that verifies what you claim is true, we gotta remember that we live in non-linear world
Nothing is ever perfect nor does it go as planned
So these research and studies are coo but they are merely just points of reference and something to take into account
When it comes down to when is it really the best time to train, the answer is right now!
There is not right or wrong, the best time is when you want to & feel best
For some it's in the morning, others in the afternoon and others at night...whatever the time is just get things done
Not because a study says you'll release more growth hormone or burn more calories at that time interval but because your body is telling you to move, your craving movement so don't ignore this primal urge & just go in attack mode
If you have the itch to train at night then workout at night
Even if some say that working out late at night will make you be even more awake so you won't be able to sleep well,then take into account but don't fully believe it unless you have actually validated this claim for yourself
I personally cranked out a late night workout yesterday & aside from the horrible heat I slept pretty damn well (sometimes I even train past midnight just because I get the itch to train)
So if night is the only time you have to get things done then do it!
Forget the science stuff for bit & just do the damn work
Sometimes all of those research & studies only confuse you and lead you to over-thinking and inaction
So if you got an itch to train, do it!
