Question

What's the best time for a workout?

Community Answer

About an hour or so after breakfast, as it helps you get your workout out of the way, boosts your metabolism throughout the day and stops you from putting off doing it.

Question

Is it a good idea to do my workout before sleeping?

Community Answer

In general, no. Workouts will usually energize you, so working out before bed can actually keep you up.

Can I work out before bed if it helps me to fall asleep faster?

Yes you can workout at whatever time suits you. If it tires you out, then you can do it before bed, but remember not to push yourself too hard.

Question

I would like to do more exercise but the next 2/3 days I have muscular pain. What could I do to overcome it and train more? I want to be a professional ballet dancer.

Community Answer

It is natural and common to have muscle pain after exercising. You have to understand that it is temporary. During exercise you are using unused muscles vigorously, so they hurt. Continue exercising since the best thing to would be using those muscles more commonly and often. The pain will disappear soon and remember that pain is in the mind.

Question

How can I get better at doing push-ups if I can’t do one at all?

Community Answer

Do push-ups on your knees until you build enough strength to be off your knees. If push-ups on your knees is difficult for you, start off by doing standing push-ups with your hands on the wall. As your strength increases, find a sturdy table to do push-ups on. The stronger you get, the lower you go until you can do push-ups on the floor.
