For those of us who are not morning people, odds are you’ll find us at the gym in the evening after work.
And there are some reasons why us late night owls may have the advantage over the early birds:
Better sleep
You’d think working out at night will make you unable to sleep, but the total opposite is true. The muscles in your body need rest after a workout, and what better way than sleep?

Better output
Studies indicate that working out at night builds endurance. It must be because you can get your body to continue working long after the work day is over!
Blood pressure
A study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning found that night owl exercisers lowered their blood pressure by 15% more than early bird exercisers.
Staying power
The New England University of Birmingham study found that people who work out at night can do so for longer periods and at a higher intensity.

The right time
An evening workout coincides with the time of day where levels of the hormone testosterone are at their highest which ensures muscle growth.
