Hi everyone
Greetings from India
I recently read CT’s article ,“why evening training is the worst”
But all my life I have been training in the evenings. And if I now want to move my workouts to the morning before work I would need to get up at 6.30 at least ( and even then I won’t be able to get in a pre workout meal ) since I need to be back by 8.30 at the latest.
If I can work out in the late afternoons, like 4.30 or 5 pm , will it be ok?
Coz my natural rhythm is 12 midnight to 8/8.30 am sleep, if I don’t put an alarm
It’s not ideal but it’slikely not the end of the world since you have 6-7 hours to unwind. But I would take steps in assuring that when you get home you relax. Glycine 5-10g post-workout and in the evening can help slow down the nervous system and reduce cortisol.
It’s hard for me to say. If you have always trained at 5ish your body is likely accustomed to it so there would be less of a problem. In which case, switching to AM might not make a significant difference.
However if you have problems falling asleep and lack energy in the morning it would indicate a disrupted cortisol cycle and then you should look into training earlier.
