    My Saturday morning workout is generally my favorite. It is by far my best lifting session given that I have plenty of time and don't have to rush anything. I lift on Tues and Thurs evenings as well, and I pretty much have to kill it in 45 minutes in order to get my 1 y.o. and 3 y.o. home and fed an din bed at a reasonable hour. Saturdays I have a full 2 hours (2 hour max at the drop in child care at my gym) so I can take a bit of extra time in the weight room and then go for a leisurly swim or something. Plus I really like the fact that hardly anyone is in the gym at 8 AM on a Saturday...

    Oh. I thought "I shouldn't need strangers on the internet to get me to workout" was the correct answer.

    If you are currently fat...Do it so you can get unfat

    Nice.

    I did not expect so many of you to be totally humorless and unsupportive in a support forum. Bravo.

    I ran 3 miles that night, after starting this thread.

    the correct answer is to my question is "Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going."

    No.

    The correct answer to your question is that your motivation is not my problem and whether you workout or not means nothing to me. Go or just stay unfit, but it's on you either way.

    Because the calories I shove in my mouth don't own a calendar and don't care that its a weekend.

    Saturday is one of the only days of the week where I am under absolutely no time constraints whatsoever and can afford to devote more than 30-45 minutes to any form of exercise. So it opens up the possibility of doing a lot of workout experimentation.

    Because at least 2 days a week I'm too tired to workout after work, so I do it on Saturday. And often on Sunday too.

    I'm on a Tues/Thurs workout schedule, so I work out either on Saturday or Sunday, whichever day is less busy.

    I'm trying to understand this idea that weekends are "off days"... Days where you can eat what you want to lay around the house and magically it will have no affect on your weight or progress. haha

    The gym is empty on weekends. I love training in an empty gym. It makes it easier to superset!
    Bonus is I have more energy since I didn't work during the day before my training. I can go super early (or later if I go to bed a little too late the night before).

    Gawd, weekends are the best! I get to sleep later, so no freezing cold morning workout in the dark. No cars on the street, lots of neighbors out running and walking. Love it!

    I do a lot of hiking/walking with groups on meetup.com and that's when most people are available - that's why!

    There are 7 days in a week and Saturday is one of them..........some of my best runs / workouts are on the weekend. Motivation comes from within, I can encourage you but I can't motivate you.
