I don't get the people on here replying specifically to say they aren't going to work out in the morning. Just don't reply at all, the OP is asking for people who are.0

I'm not working out in the AM at the moment but will be soon. My hubby's shifts are changing meaning I can't go to the gym in an evening or out for a walk / jog once the kids are in bed. I could still work out at home in the evening but means waiting until dinner has settled and I prefer at least 2 hours before working out. So it just seemed to make sense to work out in the morning. My hubby will be in bed so I can go out for a jog or use weights / DVD's at home. Gym is still closed at that time! I'll need to get up at 4.30am to still leave enough time to get ready for work and drop the kids off.0

I love/hate doing my workout in the morning. You have to wake up early, but it is such a great start to my day, that I don't feel like myself without doing it.
We can do it guys!

blueboxgeek.....going early takes a little getting used to, but after about a month it becomes routine, and it is a really great way to start the day.0

I have about 100 lbs to lose. Goal of 8 - 10 per month. I get up at 4 am to get ready and get myself to work. No formal workout that early, but I do have to get up so that I can take the dog for a 15 - 20 minute walk. Gets my blood pumping in the morning, too.0

Lol, I decided there were not enough hours outside the working day for me to do what I want to do, so now I wake up at 2:30am, go for either a TM run or a TT spin of 30-45 minutes, and then at 6:30 am go for workout and cooldown run or ride ... absolutely bonkers but I now have heaps of energy, and it nicely adds to weight loss ... not for the feinthearted though0

iofred, just wondering, how much sleep do you get? And is getting a workout worth the tradeoff for sleep?
I get up at 4 am, and I really do enjoy working out early each morn, but I wish I had more time to sleep too. However, I still wouldn't give up the gym for more sleep. The workouts just make the day so much better. Do you feel the same?0 -
17-20 pounds to go! 10 am workouts for me usually on Mondays, Tuesday's,
Thursday's and Friday's. Want to get up early on Wednesdays before work at 6 am!0 -
I become really grumpy if I do not work out, and that is not a pleasant experience. I am a bit of an insomniac anyway, and for me it is definitely worth it. I can rest enough when I am in my coffin ... but I do go to bed early, around 9:30pm, so I should get enough sleep0

I am a teacher. I wake up at 4:30 am so I can work out. Then I get myself and the kids ready and get to work by 7:00 am. Exercise before work actually energizes me and helps me make much better food choices throughout the day.0 -
Get up at 5:30 AM Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to hit the Gym. I hate getting up early, but the morning burn pumps me up for the rest of the day. When I tried after work workouts, I always ran into issues or excuses that kept me from going. So I say grin and bear it when the alarm goes off and you will feel better all day! I just want to be healthier so I can do more with my family. Loesing weight is just a side affect, LOL0

Megan, 20lbs, 5:30 wakeup.
I absolutely HATE getting up early, but the bootcamp I love is only offered at 6am and 6pm near my house and being a full-time student and mother of three doesn't allow me to get to the 6pm class very often.0 -

Mrs. Blobby, I would be smug if I ran to the gym too...good for you! I just drag myself there in the morning. Once I get moving I perk up.
And Mike, so cool your daily dedication, inspiring.
And altergirl, doing it being a full time student and mother! That deserves a medal!
& you go SaraBelle!
I hope everyone keeps posting. I am so happy to see so many fellow early birds!0
