    I work-out at lunch - it's awesome because the free weight section is mostly empty! In-and-out in RECORD TIME! BOOM!

    Your workouts are 2 hours?

    No, my workouts are usually in the 45-60 minute range, but if I tried to work out in the morning, I would have to shower and do all the other usual stuff to get ready for work as well.... so I'd have to get up about 2 hours earlier.

    What other usual stuff would you have to do if you worked out VS not working out in the mornings? Getting ready is exactly the same for me whether I work out or not other than showering, and being a male that takes me 5 minutes. My workouts are 45 minutes, so I get up exaclty one hour before I would if I weren't working out and actually end up being ready earlier than if I weren't working out. Of course I don't have to be at work as early as you and would probably do afternoons as well in your shoes but the 2 hours thing just sounds like an excuse not to do mornings.

    I normally shower in the evenings, but if I worked out in the mornings, I'd have to shower, so that's above and beyond my usual routine.

    Plus, it takes me just a tad bit longer to get ready in the mornings than most people because I'm a paraplegic, so if I were to workout in the mornings, there's just no way I could get up just one hour earlier and squeeze in a 45-50 minute workout and still shower and be ready and leave for work at the same time I do now. I'd have to have that additional hour (beyond the workout) to shower, get dressed, shave, brush my teeth, throw my lunch together, pray with my wife and head out the door.

    Makes sense. I guess the main thing is that you are actually doing it.

    One of the few advantages of being unemployed, I can work out when I want for as long as I want. I usually go out on my bike for an hour between 11am and midday. Sometimes then go for a 20-30 min walk around 4-5pm.
    Not sure where I'd fit it in if I was working full time. My parents for example leave the house at 8am and don't get back until 6pm. If that was me I couldn't do it. I have enough trouble getting enough sleep as it is without trying to get up at 6am or earlier.
