Trouble sleeping? It may be time to switch up your exercise routine. Celebrity trainer and creator of WIMBERLEAN (http://wimberlean.com/), Jason Wimberly advises you to ditch the evening workouts and opt for early a.m. (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Why-Do-I-Feel-Nauseous-When-I-Work-Out-Morning-44562448/) in lieu of a twilight sweat sesh, as they may be harming your sleep cycle.

While some studies point to evening workouts being beneficial (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Evening-Workouts-Good-You-42677139), others conclude that early morning exercise is the most advantageous (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4270305/) - and Jason definitely backs this up.
"A late-night workout can really be disadvantageous for you. Our bodies are meant to shut down at a certain point in the day."
"Getting a workout in at any time is great, and I never tell someone to not do a workout," Jason said. "But a late-night workout can really be disadvantageous for you. Our bodies are meant to shut down (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Best-Teas-Sleep-44320556) at a certain point in the day."
At night, "your body is already producing a chemical to shut your brain down," Jason said. "Our bodies start producing melatonin (a hormone that helps regulate sleep) as soon as the sun goes down; for most of us that's around 7 or 8. Fighting that [hormone] to get a workout in just because you 'need to' is not always the best idea. Hormonally and based on human circadian rhythms, working out after 8 p.m. should never happen."

Jason related vigorous p.m. workouts to screen time on your phone, which can be stimulating for the brain and counterproductive to rest (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Bedtime-Routine-Help-Sleep-40286877). "We're looking at screens all the time, and anybody will tell you that you're not supposed to look at a screen or have screen time after a certain time of day." He said the same goes for exercise.
"Hormonally and based on human circadian rhythms, working out after 8 p.m. should never happen."
"I really try and stay away from night workouts (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Best-Workouts-Night-44510015) for my clients and myself - with the boost of endorphins from a workout after 6 o'clock, it puts my brain into overdrive! If I work out after 6 p.m., I can't sleep," he said. "I taught a class at 7 o'clock [the other night] and I couldn't fall asleep (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Why-You-Should-Meditate-Before-Bed-44366631) until 11 p.m., which for me is like 3 in the morning! [laughs] My husband was like, what's wrong with you?!"
If your schedule consistently prevents you from doing a morning workout, he said the second most optimal time is between 1 and 3 p.m., but if that time frame is also impossible, he said try activities that are "soothing to the body (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Health-Benefits-Massage-44545517) and not super high intensity," like some "elliptical work that won't boost your heart rate too much, yoga, or more restorative work (https://www.popsugar.com/fitness/Before-Bed-Yoga-Sequence-25491816) that's not going to give you that max heart rate. That's when your body goes into that calorie-burning area, that endorphin push - it's going to be hard to sleep."
