Cardio at 1:00 am at night?

Question

I knew that it's obviously better to work out earlier then that time. But this is the only time I can, I want to do 30 mins of treadmill but my mom said there's no point bc u won't burn anything bc it's late (1:00am). Is that true ? Am I not going to burn anything because 1:00 is too late ? :s ? But I will have time to get a good night sleep (7-8 hrs)

Doing aerobic exercise before retiring is generally not a great idea; your metabolism and heart rate are both accelerated and you may have difficulty going to sleep.
That's the only real contraindication, the bit about not burning calories at night is simply not true.

Well,if your mom manages a gym then I suggest that her bodd fire her. You will still burn calories. One thing though is that unless you condition your body your performance will be less than stellar. Your body is prepared for activity during the day so until it realizes that at 1am it is time ti run you will probably take a hit to performance.
