COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION!

Happy Wednesday, !
๐ค๐ด๐โโ๏ธQ: Does working out at night mess up my sleep?
Clients ask me this question all of the time, so I figured you may have this question, too.
โ A: This is a tricky one. Hereโs the answer: โit depends.โ
Getting regular exercise can cut stress and anxiety โฆ and make you feel tired, which can help improve sleep.
โ๏ธ๐คธBut for some people, working out within a couple of hours of bedtime can make it hard to fall asleep.
This can be caused by hormonal and body temperature fluctuations, especially if you work out intensely (like doing a hard cardio workout vs. light yoga or myofascial stretch).
Figuring out the best time for your own workouts can take a little experimentation to see how your body responds. Everyoneโs a little different!
๐When is your favorite time of day to work out?
Have a fantastic day,
