I envy people who can get up at the break of dawn to hit the gym....I just can't do it! I've tried, many times but first, I love sleeping, second, I don't have the energy to pick up a pair of weights and third, I hate going anywhere with bags under my eyes! =P So I've accepted this and go after work during the week and mid morning on weekends....but I really do wish I was one of those morning people cause I think I'd get so much more done in one day!!

I used to love going early in the morning and then again after work at night. but life is too busy so now I go in the afternoon right after work. and in the mornings a lot of the people in the gym look tired so you wouldn't be alone0
-
Only reason i would get up so early would be to learn something, form, stretching, or a foam roll with coffee.0
-
Afternoon, which I never get to do.0
-
I am one of the ones who go first thing in the morning. 5:30 to be exact. I like to go because the gym is not that busy at that time and I get my work out done before I do anything else for the day.0
-
I usually feel most pumped and ready to hit the gym at about 6pm0
-
at the gym, i go between 8-11, off peak hours, no lunk heads, no one putzing around the machines or whatever.
outside, also the morning. quiet, only other people that take it seriously are out there with me.0 -
I get up at 3am, pound my pre-workout, and am working out by 3:30-3:45.
On days I'm not lifting solo, I workout 7:30-8:300 -
It actually depends on the workout. Free weights I like to do either very early in the AM (4-8am) or very late in the PM (after 8pm - midnight). That window between 1 and 3am is always difficult. Not sure why. Cardio I can do just about any time of the day.0
-
5-6am but lately it's back to the same route of 8-10pm, just cause it works best for my sleep schedule.0
-
I go to the gym around 6am because I know if I waited to go later in the day I probably wouldn't get to it, and I like going before class or work0

In the morning....preferrably between 9:30 and 11:00.0

I am NOT a morning person AT ALL!! I do workout at 5am each day though! It was crazy hard at first but now I love it. Keep in mind I do have to be awake for 15 mins or so to kinda wake up, but once I get moving i am good. I know it sounds cliche but it really does make me feel better all day! I also HAVE to have my 8 hours, or I am an extreme grouch!0

I'm with you here!0 -
I work out on my lunch hour every day. Its great to get out of the lab and go for a run or lift weights. Good mental break and it saves me from the temptations of going out for lunch everyday. I don't have to wake up early or worry about it after work. I'm lucky to have a gym in my office, not everyone gets that luxury.0

Wow, lol Props to those of you who are up and ready to go by or around 6 in the morning! Personally, I workout from 9-11am monday to friday and around noon on the weekends. I guess if I had to I might be able to get to the gym around 6am but omgosh I'm lucky right now- I don't work in the mornings! lol0
-
I wish I could get up early like that too. I just can't get my butt up either. I'm sooooo NOT a morning person! lol
Honestly, my ideal time to workout would be middle of the afternoon cause that's when I FEEL like it, but I work full time so I can't. The only time I really can is right after work before dinner.0 -
Cardio in the morning on an empty stomach. Weights in the afternoon.0
-
My favorite time to exercise is early AM. I love early bike rides in the summer!
However, work and life dictate that I work out in the evenings. Until the snow melts! Then back on the roads for the early morning rides!0 -
Generally I work out in the evening, anytime starting at 7:30pm (I try not to start any later than 8:30pm). On the weekends, however, I will sometimes workout earlier in the day (not super early) so that I'm done for the day.0
