I arrive home at eleven and I can easily stay up til 3am in the morning. the thing is that I have to go back to work at 9 the next day. Is there something you can do to avoid this while training late hours?? ============ Quoting from leslieherr: I don't think there is a "bad" time to do cardio as long as you are doing it.

Seriously.... in your case you should try to reset your body schedule to goto bed at 11, and then get up alittle early to do cardio just before you take a shower, unless you don't want anyone to talk to you at work and then just skip out on the shower. :)
