    Neither have an advantage, work out when it suits you.

    I'm sure the difference is negligible, do it when you will actually DO IT. I always thought of myself as an AM exerciser, used to be at the gym by 5am. But with my work, I feel more tired if I've exerted myself first thing and I have excess hunger problems during my work day. When I exercise right after work I notice myself being more productive overall (perhaps exercise makes me realize I do indeed have time to get things done? I dunno), like last night I put away a bunch of laundry and cleaned the kitchen after I exercised. Day before, I didn't exercise and ended up taking a nap from 6-7 making it difficult to sleep!

    I won't do it every day, I'm not there yet, but it's a good time for me for where I'm at in life right now.
