    What a great topic...although I am a night owl and usually work later in the day, this has motivated me to try working out early. I think this will give me more time with my daughter to do what she wants during the day when I am off with her. I don't think I will be getting up tomorrow early, though, since it's already after midnight. It's nice to hear from the reformed night owls that it is possible to change the habit though.

    You all are AMAZING and are such an inspiration!!! :bigsmile:

    Well, I WAS able to wake up early. I wans't able to wake up at 4:00am like I had hoped to do so but I woke up at 4:30am and was able to get 35 minutes on the elliptical since I have to be at work at 7:00am. Hopefully I will do better tomorrow and I'll be able to wake up at 4:00am so I can get my 1 hour workout in. :)

    Thank you all!!! :)

    oh! it wasn't that difficult to wake up at 4:30am...it's now 7:18am and I'm feeling GREAT! :bigsmile:

    2am on the weekends....but it doesn't really count I think since I don't wake up per say but I am actually just up. I work graveyard 11pm-7am. I am lucky that my workplace is rarely busy on weekends so I'll go out @ 2am for a fitness break.

    I get out of bed by 3AM; I have just started and plan on doing my work out in the am. So far very hard to be motivated.

    On the days that I workout before work (about 3-4 days a week at this point) I wake up at 5:10, and am at the gym when it opens (5:30.) I love the feeling of having my workout done so early, but I def. start crashing around lunchtime!

    Love this! I'm telling you, if I didn't get up early and work out first thing, I would rarely do it at ALL. And I just love starting my day that way.

    I get up at 6:00 and get an hour in before I have to get ready for work, but I'm thinking I might start getting up earlier to increase my workout.

    (responded to this mostly so I can find it later to motivate me when I can't get my butt out of bed)

    Alright guys - I have decided to try this! Early morning work-outs. It will take a while, I'm sure, to adjust, but I'm going to give it a valiant effort. I am not naturally a morning person, but time to turn over a new leaf. Thanks for the inspiration everyone!
