GYM RATS! Please take a look...?

[athenadelta]

Hey :)

Didn't want to write a long question title BUT say there is one day a week where you get home at 7 pm or something and you want 8 hours of sleep
Would you rather exercise and burn say 500 calories, eat dinner at a later time, say 8:30 pm and go to bed at 10 pm
OR
Would you rather skip the workout for the day (you have strength training tomorrow so that might help), eat dinner earlier and have extra time for digestion before bed? NOTE: You will be consuming less and only your energy expenditure cals.

Thanks!! :)

i think the first option is a much better one cuz if u want to stay healthy in the long run you have to maintain ur health and a good way to do that is to regularly exercise..also if u get into a habit of working out then soon it would be so embedded in ur blood that u won't even feel a thing and naturally remain fit and healthy...so for me definelty go for the first option..hope it helps :)

Is there a reason you can't do HITT training in the morning; if you are stressed for time?

My goal isn't to lose calories considering I'm below 4% fat, but I would probably just do abs at home or something if I missed the gym.

I'll drink some low fat milk and go to bed...if i dont feel like working out and feel sleepy...sleep first

I never skip my workout. For me it's way more than calories in/calories out. It's emotional therapy and I just really enjoy it.

I get 7 hours so I go to bed at 11! I hate skipping any work out.

I tend to compromise on sleep a lot anyway so...
