Hi everyone!

Due to work I am only able to exercise at night! (at around the hours of 7-10PM) Does anyone do the same? I seem to feel like I am the only one! Please feel free to add me if you too work out at night! Happy Friday!!

    I prefer to work out in the early afternoon, but with the summer heat, I usually run in the evening when the sun gets lower in the sky. I'll send you a FR :-)

    I'm more likely to hit the snooze button in the morning, and I don't want to risk running into buttheads who make mean comments, so I plan my walking/jogging/biking workouts for about 20 minutes before sunset. I love it. Sending friend request!

    You are not alone, I work out in the evenings too. Sometimes it is late afternoon, just depends on what time I got off work. If I work until six, then I will workout later. You can add me as a friend if you would like.

    Close in stats - 5'10" and 40. I dropped a few non motivated friends today and would love some new friends if you want to add me. I lost 28 pounds in almost 12 weeks. I will motivate, support or help however possible. Go for it! And I work out after work in the early evening from about 4:30-5:30 p.m.

    I often work out at night. My allergy meds make it hard to wake up early! And I work all day. Gotta fit it in where you can, you know??? Better at night than never.

    Night work outs are not my preferred time but seeing as I can't get my butt out of bed earlier than the bare minimum to get to work on time... i often work out at night (except on weekends)

    sometimes I walk in the morning, I do circuit training during my lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I hit the gym for some cardio in the evenings. Before I started Circuit training I always worked out with weights and cardio between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. You are not the only one. I think a lot of people do it in the evenings. Hey, it's better than doing nothing at all. Keep it up!:happy:

    I work out in the evenings. Some mornings it's as much as I can do to put my shoes on.

    The only thing that matters is you are working out.

    Better than being a couch potato, I should know. I've been one for years!

    I'm not a morning person at all. I really prefer working out at night. Some nights I make it to the gym at 6 or 7 and some nights (like last night) I don't go until 8:30 or 9. I've found I work out better at night and can go longer. It's also a huge stress reliever for me after a stressful day at work. :smile:

    Mostly at night due to having a toddler who rules me any other time. Its hard to get up at 5 to work out so I do it afterwork while the baby is napping or whenever I can - sometimes as late as 10

    Thank you everyone for the wonderful replies! I am definitely a night person and my job is usually from 10-6 or even later! So waking up to work out is just not an option! I also have allergies and take Zyrtec which knocks me out so in the morning I have zero desire! I will request you and look forward to all of the support!!

    I work out at night too. I am not a morning person, so I know I would just be setting myself up for failure if i tried to work out in the mornings! As soon as I get home from work I change my clothes and turn on a Jillian Michaels DVD. I also walk my dog in the evenings. I don't think it matters so much when you work out, it just matters that you actually do it! :)

    I normally work a 7am to 4pm shift, so get to the gym around 5 or 6 and leave the gym around 7 to 8. Normally eat a protein bar or small snack and have a pre workout drink to give me energy or the long day will catch up to me. By the time I get home and eat dinner its normally 8-9PM and time to sleep it off for the next day. You have to have a relationship with the gym or your workouts and always make time for them no matter what.

    During the week, I workout in the evening, usually 6:30 - 7:30ish. On Saturday I try to go in the morning so that I can do other weekend activities.

    On the days I work I am at the hospital from 7a-7:30 pm. After I clock out I change and head to the gym. Very hard to do but not nearly as crowded in the gym!

    Glad to hear others are out there! LOL! I usually try to walk on the treadmill during my lunch (I work for the county and get spoiled that we can use the gym at Fire & Rescue). But then I usually do a Jillian Michaels DVD at 5:30 when I get home. My 3 year old likes to unwind from a day at preschool so I give her a snack, let her watch a little Sprout while I spend 24 minutes with Jillian every afternoon.

    Mornings are nice because it gets it out of the way, but I just cannot get up early enough to do that, get my child ready, commute 1/2 hour and be at work at 8:00 am! There's nothing wrong with working out in the evenings!

    Haha - you sound like me! I walk through the door after work, change, and pop in good ol' Jillian Michaels.

    I workout in the evenings and sometimes on my lunch break. I'm just going to snooze through my alarm if I try to get up early enough to workout in the am so I'd rather get the uninterrupted sleep!

    My husband and I have been waking up and brisk walking around 8-9am. But on days like today, I had a Dr. appt., we had errands to run, and he had to go to work. I work 5-9 and was able to squeeze in an hour on my xbox kinect. When I get home tonight, I'm going to try to add another 30 minutes of cardio. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do, no matter what time it is. Everyone has different time schedules, and as long as you do SOMETHING, you are better than if you just didn't do anything! I'm here if you need support, cause I'll need it right back!
