Hello there,

I have been doing my work out at gym at the evening...But becuase i had to go out of town today...so i went to gym early morning first time ever...and to be honest i enjoyed it...

I want to ask you guys if working out at the morning is fine and equally beneficial? or should i go back to evening work outs?

    You should let your personal preferences and lifestyle dictate the best time for you to workout.

    Sounds like for you, that's morning.

    It doesn't matter. Choose a time that works for you

    Do it whenever you feel like it. The last thing I need in my life is more stress because I have to do my workout at a specific time.

    I have found out the the following
    (a) Working out in the early morning -- one has to deal only with feeling sleepy and going to sleep early to get your 7 or 8 hours of sleep in
    (b) Working out in the evening -- Work get piled up and tend to put working out in the back-burner

    This works for me, my consistency has improved by working out in the morning. That is my opinion

    My schedule varies a lot from day to day, so I just grab whatever time I can to work out on my training days. I prefer early afternoons, but usually have to do evening workouts. Just means I drink a bit more caffeine before hitting the weights.

    I like the morning. I have everything ready the night before and put it in my car, including my shower gear. This way if I get lazy I have to go to my car to get my shower gear and that keeps me from getting lazy.

    Also, if I do it afterwork I can come up with reasons (excuses) not to go.

    Agree with others, find what works best for you. I personally do it before work, right after breakfast (30ish mins so I don't get barfy feeling LOL).

    I find myself too tired or too scatter-brained if I wait to do it when I get home. Plus, I've run into the issue of working out and then not being able to sleep that night.

    I prefer in the morning, because no matter how crappy my day goes, at least I worked out already.

    Personally I struggle to run effectively in the morning but cycling or swimming is ok. I find my joints, particularly my ankles, are very stiff. Broken ankles and torn ligaments don't help.

    I prefer to train in the evening, and it works for me. It's just a question of being disciplined enough to carve out the time.
