Right now I am getting to the gym around 9pm and doing cardio for 45 min daily... I am wondering what the benefits are, if any to night time cardio. I have a protein shake when I get home and then try to get to sleep. Do you think my body will burn more fat while sleeping this way?

I'm sure you know, keep it low intensity so you don't have to have a pro/carb shake this late before you go to bed. __________________ KT021 for 5% over at trueprotein.

Is the answer given not good enough?

It won't be any better than mid day cardio I will assume, only difference is that you have more calories at the end of the night to burn off.

Your answer was fine... but what im looking for is an answer on metabolism.
Doing early morning cardio helps speed up the metabolism throughout the day... So im wondering if cardio is done at night, will this actually help you burn more fat while sleeping?
Im also tryin to do AM cardio to... but PM is what im wondering about.

Bags

Yes, im eating when I come home, but its a pro/fat meal.
I walk/run for 45 min take some aminos and then play a little basketball.
Then I go home and eat some chicken/green beans.
Should I be doing anything else?

Proper planning of your meals is your only obstical other then that enjoy. When I'm really serious about dropping the pounds I do cardio morning and night. __________________ oderint dum metuant

Second best time is after weight training because you have depleted your glycogen stores, so your body is more likely to have to start to utilize fat for fuel. (you didn't say whether you are weight training at night before your cardio or not). But as Juggernaut said cardio is accumulative so any cardio is better than NO cardio when it comes to fat loss.

While sleeping specifically?

No.

So if you're doing it for this purpose i think it's a miguided exploit.

If you can't get it in any other time.. night time is better that not getting it in at all.

But if you CAN get it in earlier in the day.. do so.

barita_lola New Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Posts: 2 \| Points: 2.00 (Donate) Rep Power: 5	Re:Night time cardio... My friend, as long as I know by night time, your body is ready to shut down and go to sleep. It's not in calorie-burning mode because it doesn't expect you to require energy. During the day, you can burn 3x as many calories compared to night time. Cardio is great anytime, but best during the day as with most excercise.

I know some people swear by it however.
