    Saturday is my favourite day of the week to work out.

    For a start, I sleep in a bit later than the weekdays, and don't have to rush to get there (it's not a work day) and I can do a longer weights routine and choose whether to do some cardio at the gym or head down to the beach for a long walk afterwards. The options are endless and I've got the luxury of time to do something a bit different.

    Exercise makes me feel good too :)

    Also, as stated above, it earns some extra calories toward a glass of wine on Saturday night or guilt free dinner out or takeaway.

    Why work out on Saturday? Well, why not?

    Because I don't want to, but I'm not gonna let myself wimp out like a little b*tch!

    I was still hurting this morning from my last legs day and I really didn't feel like going to the gym. So I made myself go and work out even harder than normal. I ended up adding 20lbs to my deadlift after plateauing for something like 6 or 7 weeks. This kind of stuff always happens to me — whenever I'm not feeling like going to the gym at all, I end up having these awesome workouts, running faster, longer, lifting heavier, hitting PR's and feeling like the biggest badass in the world by the time I leave.

    Explain / motivate.

    I have a better idea - how about you explain to us why someone unfit and overweight *shouldn't* dedicate a non-work day to exercise and maximal calorie burn?

    Because my husband can stay with the kids for a few hours and it's the only time to get my long workout in for my triathalon training.

    I would rather do it on a Saturday than a Sunday. That and I don't have to get up at 4:50 a.m.like I do during the week, I can workout in the afternoon.

    Sunday is my off day and I can concentrate on other things that I need to get done.

    Because the weekend is a great time to work out. I am not near as busy and am not rushed. I can get it in earlier. I also feel great afterwards. So why not. With 4 kids sometimes their weekday stuff added to my job make it hard to get there, I do get there just later than I want to.

    Seriously I have way more time on the weekend than I do during the week.

    I normally don't have a lot going on Saturday mornings. I don't need to get up early for work so I can sleep in a little and then get a good run in. One of my favorite times of the week to run! Now I just need to get back into running. Fell off a bit since my half marathon in September!

    This. I'm having trouble understanding why exercising on a Saturday is harder than any other day ?
