    Whenever you can fit it in. I go after work because I'm not willing to get up at 5 a.m. to do it.

    I am not a morning person - I have good intentions and then find the snooze button way too convenient. I like to work out whenever it fits in my schedule! Sometimes if I work out too late at night, I have trouble winding down. If I work out in the morning, I feel refreshed for several hours afterwards. Do what works best for you!

    After juggling College, Real Estate Salespersons school and working like 60 hours per week I have found that if you limit yourself to any particular time frame, you risk not working out should a conflict arise.

    Just doing it matters, regardless of when.

    I find it best to do my workout when I have the time and energy to completely focus on the workout. Sometimes morning, sometimes evening, sometimes mid-day.

    I'm a morning person - up at 4 during the week for my workouts. On the weekend, I'll sleep in until 5. :happy:

    I always thought I was a morning work out person - bu recently I started going in the evening, and I'm enjoying it even more. Any stress from the day melts away, and I got to bed feeling relaxed. Plus, I have a lot more energy from the food I've eaten through out the day!

    I'm with most people; I fit it in when I can. I prefer late morning (9-12), but if I have to work that day, it'll be later that evening, around 5-7. I am less likely to skip a workout if I can get it in earlier in the day then if I have to wait until after work... I am usually tired after work and struggle to find the energy/motivation to do it. I try to get it in before work, like I tried this AM, but totally climbed back into bed even after getting dressed into my workout clothes.

    "whenever you can" is the best answer, but i like to come home from work and immediately put my workout gear on and get started. the quicker i can get started, the earlier i'll be done and can start relaxing for the rest of the evening.

    I go to the gym every day. 5 am on the weekdays and around 7 on the weekends.
    My body is so used to getting up at that time and going to work out it doesnt bother me to be up so early.
    I don't function good without my workout in the morning.

    Morning, noon and night! Literally. I'm walking 100 miles a month for charity so I just fit it in whenever I get the chance. I prefer early in the day because I tend to get lazy later but it doesn't always fit into my plan that way!

    Whenever you're likely to actually do it. Without knowing your schedule and personal preferences, I can't comment for you.

    For me, I like morning workouts AND afternoon workouts. I do two-a-days a couple of times a week. I like morning workouts because the gym is quiet or the roads are empty and I feel much more centered and energized for the rest of the day. I like afternoon workouts because it's a nice way to end the day, it doesn't give me extra time to snack and the extra calorie burn in the sunshine is fantastic :)

    I think you have to do it when you can regularly fit it into your schedule so that it becomes part of your daily routine. I personally work out right after I get off work. It helps me to destress after a hard day. I have actually started looking forward to it every day.
