Q. I love working out but I’m always too drained after work and can work out late at night only. Is that healthy? Any suggestion what workout is suitable for my timing?

A. Yes, you can work out late at night. If you are too tired, try to warm up for 10 – 15 minutes such as walking, rope skipping or cycling. If you are still tired after warm up, then stop your workout completely because you could get injured when you can’t focus on proper form. If you feel fresh after warm-up then you can continue to work out. The type of workout depends on what kind of goal you want to achieve. For general fitness, do a full body circuit training.
