    I prefer to workout at night because I try to limit my calories during the day and usually eat a high protein dinner. And also my workout buddy usually isn't available til about 10 pm =) I'm assuming as long as you workout your still gonna see results no matter what time, I would think that working out would be beneficial anytime of the day.

    I have class in the mornings and work afterward, and I'm a night owl, so nighttime workouts at my 24 hour gym works much better. I also love that hardly anyone else is there.

    During the day, between class and work, I try to fit in something small like a bike ride around the block just in case I'm too tired to gym it up after work.

    i hit the gym usually around 9pm

    mornings are never going to happen. i find it hard enough getting my kids ready let alone going for a workout.

    having said that, on the few occassions i have done it ive felt pretty good afterwards, but its much harder getting started than at night.

    I think your body knows what's best. Some of us just have weird schedules, best not to fight it!

    I actually like to work out at night especially my cardio.. because i live in a relatively safe part of Korea.. and there is nothing and no one to bother me...

    I work out at home too...most of the time. I do have some weights and kettleballs here so that makes it easier. And then when I do occasionally get up early, I go run. But I'm just not a gym person =/

    Since three of my jobs were graveyard and another one a closer, use to being up late at night.
    Alot of times when it's after midnight, start some of my exercise then.
    I also have no issue going to sleep after working out.
    In fact just did 30 minutes of workout cardio video and 10 minutes of resistance band
    Later when I do get up bike ride, walk and glider.

    Sometimes, but I've found that if the sun isn't out, I can't really work out properly. I don't get my full burn and end up disappointed with myself at the end of the work out.
    I even fell asleep on the leg press once, waiting for my next set.

    I work 3rd shift, so I work out in the morning after work. So it is sort of at night, my night? lol I find if I go home and sit down, I won't be as motivated to go, so I come home, grab my suit, and head for the pool. Everyone is different I'm sure, Good luck to ya!

    I work 3rd shift as well and also workout in the mornings after work. I also work weekends and where I work, it's rarely busy on Saturdays and Sundays. I will go outside for 20-30 mins walks and jogs at 2AM. I work in a secure location so I don't have to worry about traffic or people. The coworkers I work with are cool and will cover for me incase it does get busy while I am out.

    I workout at night....although, I have woken up earlier to do my T25 before work, but I'm not much of a morning person so I can't see myself doing that every morning. I wish I could though just to get it out of the way.

    My husband wakes up at 6am every morning and goes to the gym before work and sometimes I want to just stay up and do my workout, but my body is like "NO"! Lol

    often times 9-11 PM

    I'm shifting to an early time slot- but I'm not happy about it- currently I'm hitting it Monday and Wednesday from 5-7- thankfully it's a small gym and it's not super busy so I can get away with it- at LA Fitness- it was IMPOSSIBLE to work out at that time.

    Oh well- now I"m mostly at my studio till 1030 or so at night.

    Morning work outs just are not my thing- I'll do it- but I don't like it. One morning- first cup of coffee sitting by the rack- I went to do a warm up set- I only had one plate on the frigging bar.

    Yeah- morning workouts- not my cup of tea.

    I am the same. I prefer to work out at night as is am a night owl. I just got back from a 75 hot yoga session and it's 10pm. It definitely not strange. As long as you are getting your workout in then you are good. Doesn't matter what anyone thinks. Just be safe if you walk to and from the gym, but if you drive or work out at home then you're good.

    I hit the gym around 9 - 10 pm. Love that it's quiet and I can pretty much do whatever I want.

    I workout out from home. I made my spare bedroom into a little gym. Im not a morning person and im so tired through out the day taking care of my 5 month old that when my husband gets home from work . He watches our son . So I can get exercise in. It just works better that way. I've always been a nite owl..so it helps

    I prefer to work out at nights (after 9pm) by a long shot...Motivation, hydration and everything on target so im ready to go but sometimes life doesnt allow it to work like that. So sometimes morning it is and I just force myself. When I run though, I tend to do better in the early mornings...go figure.
