    OP I don't know if you are asking in order to find out what the ideal time to workout is or you just were curious. If it is the former then I think the answer is it doesn't matter, just workout whenever its most convenient for you and that way you will be more likely to stick with it.

    Monday/Wednesday I lift at 5AM. Tuesday/Thursday I do cardio around 8PM. Friday I lift around 8PM. Trying to convince myself to switch my Friday workout to the morning, but sleeping until 6:30 is too awesome.

    I'm a person so I like to get it in and be done with it! I do walk home from the train in the evening and that's anywhere from a mile to almost two miles depending on which way I go.

    You're a person?

    I try to make sure I exercise when i get home, usually around 6pm, then I eat after or i'm sure i'd throw up or feel too full to properly exercise

    It doesn't matter what time of day you workout, as long as you workout.

    On workdays, I do mini-workouts in my office on my break and at lunch. After work I do a longer workout. On the weekends the time varies. If I'm doing a DVD or weights, I do them in the a.m. after I get up (around 10). But if the weather is nice I'll do something outside later.

    On Monday, Wednesday and Fridays I work out in the morning at 8:00am before work. I do this because I know when I come home, I'll be too tired to bother with it. On Saturday and Sunday, I'll workout in the afternoon since I have more time. It took some time to get up early, but now I enjoy it.

    Late afternoon or early evening when I'm too mentally fried to do anything else. I'm a morning person and it would be a waste of my peak thinking hours to waste it on brainlessly lifting heavy things and putting them back down.

    Workout in the evening after work, am not a morning person and have tried to wake up early to workout and could not commit to it, but evenings work fine for me plus I get to sleep much better. I got some motivation workout clothes on www.afyafitwear.com wearing them reminds me why am in the gym in the first place to get fit and shed some weight. Check them out!

    First thing, usually an hour after waking up! I've found that my burns later in the day suck compared to those in the AM.

    Usually within an hour of waking up, which can be anywhere from midday right up to 5pm. I am a night owl, and trying to break that pattern.

    Mondays and Wednesdays I work out at 6:20 am. Tuesdays and Thursdays I work out at 5:45 am. I find it much easier to work out in the morning. NO Excuses then :)

    Most weekdays 5am. Some weekdays I add in a lunch time run to my regular workout. One night a week I go to the gym at 5:30pm before dinner.

    Weekends - late morning.
