I think most people have trouble sleeping after vigorous exercise. You

are sort of sending mixed messages to your body -- getting it all

cranked up and then trying to calm down. Two hours would be less of a

problem than one (in my experience).

I used to mountain bike ride with a group of women every Thursday

evening. I wouldn't sleep all night

Wait about 2 hours after a meal to do cardio. If you wait much longer than

that, you'll get too hungry to wait the hour afterward. If you do it much

sooner than that, you'll be more prone to nausea and side stitches.

Vigorous exercise right before bed does tend to amp you up and keep you

awake. Try it and see how it goes. If you've got a couple hours to eat

something and unwind, you may get sleepy and be fine with it.

I can't sleep if I do my cardio in the evening. Keeps me up for hours.

Cardio in the evenings?

Hi Ladies,

I have a question about cardio. I am going to have to do my cardio in

the evenings and I wanted to be sure on the timing of meals. I know

you should wait one hour after cardio to eat. But, before cardio, do

I wait 2 or 3 hours after my last meal to do cardio? Also, has anyone

had experience as to whether cardio interupts sleep if done an hour or

two before bed?

Thanks so much!
