I currently excerise (varies from 60 - 90 mins of running) at night time (around 7-9) and lately it has been raining alot! Damn Weather!

I try to go 5 out of 7 days a night but because of the weather im thinking of changing to day times but to be honest i woke up at 5am to do it only to fall back to sleep! lol

But im just wondering when does everyone find it best to excercise?

Also if you do run in the morning how soon after waking up???

    I don't think it really matters when you exercise.

    I am a night owl and refuse to wake up to go workout. Sorry, but I like to stay up late and sleep late. So, getting up early to workout? Well, it isn't happening. lol. I always workout later at night (heck, I'm known to be at the gym at midnight or later).

    Workout when it is convenient for you. :)

    Evening! I go to the gym after work from 6-8pm and if I can't sleep, I work out more during the night at home, lol. Evenings are just less hectic than the mornings are.

    I use exercise DVDs in the morning before work and also do some evening exercise classes (6-7 or 8-9). I think it just depends what suits your routine!

    First thing in the morning. Not by choice though, I am a very busy person.

    Usually sometimes between 2.30 and 5pm

    I get up at 4.30am just to get to work on time, so I ain't exercising in the morning, and I'm not doing it at night, either. I need to sleep! I finish work at 2pm to be home when the kids get in from school, so I have the whole later afternoon to get done what I need to get done.

    I prefer mornings myself, it really starts my day off right. Also, it's quieter and brighter than night time:)

    I change it up day to day, sometimes morning, sometimes evenings usually around 6 o'clock, sometimes both. I like doing it better in the morning good way to kickstart your day, but it can be a pain in the *kitten* to get up too early. It feels good to get it out of the way early. I try to get in an hour a day, 6 days a week.

    Agreed... what ever time works for you! I HATE working out in the morning (and I am a morning person) unless I know I can get in a nap mid-day. If not, I am zapped. My favorite time is 4 or 5 PM but will do it as late as 7 PM without disrupting my sleep schedule

    On my days off I like to exercise in the morning to start my day. When I work, I go workout in the afternoon.

    Morning. Then it's done and out of the way. No excuse not to do it and apparently it's the best time to workout as well.

    A little of both. Days off I love a brisk morning walk.
    Work days has to be in the late afternoon usually right after work.

    Whenever it is convenient. Usually that isn't morning, but sometimes it is. Really it makes no difference except that for some people if they workout near bed time they have a hard time sleeping.

    my classes are 8:30 pm

    on weekends i prefer mornings but it is tricky, eating enough so i don't feel faint, and little enough to keep from feeling nauseated.
