    I go any day during the week (except Thursdays!) that I don't have to work right after I take my daughter to school. Usually get there bout 815am. On weekends it's in the morning too, once I'm up and moving around. Then in the evening after dinner I have been trying to do some strength training in with my hubby at home using our boflex.

    I'm no expert but I think whenever you can fit it in is great!!

    I don't get home from work until after 6:00pm, then it's making dinner & getting my 2-year-old ready for bed. By the time my day is over, there's no way I would have the energy to exercise. So I do it in the morning before they wake up. I get up around 4:30am and do a 25-minute workout DVD (Jillian Michaels, either the 30 Day Shred or Six-Week 6-Pack). It's the ONLY time I can fit it in. I hate getting up that early, but I force myself to do it anyway. And afterwards, I'm glad I did. :smile:

    During rush hour

    Why get stuck in traffic on the way home from work?
    I spend 60-65 min at the gym including the shower and I end up losing about 25 minutes of my day

    Whenever you can fit it in...

    exactly,
    setting a "time" can lead to you feeling disappointed because maybe one day you won't be able to do it that that time you set.

    Sometimes I work out right after work (around 2-3pm) Sometimes I get up early cause i can not sleep (around 4am-5am) most the time I have to workout after school (9:30pm-10:30pm).

    Whenever you can, and what ever will lead you to most success :flowerforyou:

    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.

    ^^^ This ^^^


    And I try to make sure I am finished by 6:30p so that I still have time to eat dinner with some time to digest before rolling into bed.

    I used to get up early to work out and I loved getting it out of the way for the day then I started working out more often in the afternoon and I found that I can work out harder at that time since my muscles are already a bit warmed up and I'm awake for the day. I also hated getting up earlier than usual, it really decreased my motivation to work out while I could get myself motivated throughout the day before my workout if I did it in the evening/afternoon.

    Whenever I have the time. Usually it's in the evening for me. I tend to stay up too late and have a hard time getting moving in the morning, so getting up at 5am to work out before starting my day would probably just result in somehow killing myself with a dumbbell.

    The morning is always the BEST time to do it because it starts off your day with tons of energy that lasts throughout the day - it also jumpstarts and helps to regulate your metabolism. There have been a few times I have been in the morning even though I didn't want to get up and I couldn't believe how much energy I had all day long, I felt great and it was wayyyyy better than a coffee! I do go sometimes in the evening as well, just depends on my work schedule and other things going on in life - but overall, morning is definitely the best time! ;-)
