Hi
I am totally a night person i can stay up untill morning with no problem but waking up 6 am even after a good night sleep is a real tortuer for me. so that's why i usually workout at 11 pm. I wanna know is that ok to workout that late in night or it may hurt my body??

no work out when you want to work out. if you get up at 6 to work out but dont really want to then your are going to find the effort you put in is lower meaning your probably going to burn less calories and not enjoy yourself ether.

You can work out whenever you want, the time of day does not matter at all.

only thing I would recommend is try to make sure it doesn't upset your sleep rythm. heavy exercise just before going to sleep can cause you to be awake for longer. (although being tired will help you sleep I would assume).

If you get problems with insomnia/sleeplessness then try to avoid exercise the 2 hours before you go to sleep.

One thing I enjoyed after late night working out is weighing myself before I go to bed and again in the morning. It was amazing to see like a 2-4 lb drop during the night depending on intensity of workout.

My only beef about nighttime workouts is I have difficulties sleeping for a few hours afterwards. It's still worth it to me, as that's the only time I can work it into my schedule.
