๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ด๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธQ: 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.


โœ… A: This is a tricky one. Hereโ€™s the answer: โ€œit depends.โ€

Getting regular exercise can cut stress and anxiety โ€ฆ and make you feel tired, which can help improve sleep.


โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸคธBut 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. Everyoneโ€™s a little different!


๐Ÿ‘‰When is your favorite time of day to work out?


Have a fantastic day,


Coach Lu
