Any of you do late night workouts? What's that like if you do?
I have all the equipment I need at home. The problem is, our schedule is fucking bonkers. I work 7:30ish to 4, I take my oldest into school and take her home since I work at the school. My SO isn't home until 4:30, we pick the other kiddo up at 5. Dinner at six, bedtime at 7:30, kids are out by 8ish. Oldest has dance on Mondays till 6. SO has class on Tuesday till 8. She has homework and readings to do every week as a result. Weekends got swim class, dance for the little guy, library, groceries, naps, plans with the kids or friends or family.
I'm doing all this math on every hour of the week and I'm coming to the conclusion that I could get a solid hour every day if I wanted after everyone goes to bed. From 10 to 11. My ADHD keeps me up anyway, I likely won't make much noise, the living room already has those foam padding jigsaw tiles on the floor to keep the kids from tumbling on the hard floor. It's in the basement, the kids sleep soundly, my SO isn't a night owl like I am.
This seems like a no brainer and that usually means I'm overlooking something. The one thing keeping me from working out at home was privacy, and this gets me that because people will be passed the fuck out anyway. Obviously this is like a twice a week and eventually a three day a week thing.
How fucked up are my mornings going to be? Weekdays we're up at six to get the day on schedule. Am I going to be totally fucked those mornings?
Depends on your type of personality and exact schedule. I think night workout can be really nice if you can take atleast 30 min after to chill and shower and relax. Night workout can tire you out and make you sleep well but usually not immediately after since you're all jazzed from the workout itself.
Plus it can be a time (on either end of the day) to just think about shit while you move your body. It's nice.
All the positives people say about starting a day with the workout is true tho.
