    I have a three year old at home and work 8-4 Monday-Friday. So I go after 8 once he is put to bed. On days like today when I am working two jobs I go something after 10. On Fridays I stay for three hours. Let me clarify something, I have a 16 yr old son and a husband... baby isn't alone. Lol. When I was on vacation I was able to go twice a day which I really enjoyed. When you exercise in the morning it keeps u energised all day.

    Late morning, early afternoon usually on weekdays. On weekends I do it around 7:30 am to 8:00 for a start time 'cause I'm a morning person and everyone else is a nightowl. :grumble:

    I'm a morning exerciser. Been that way since I was in the military. Also I find if I work out in the morning, I make better food choices later.

    I also have worked out in the pm (and probably will go back to that schedule once school starts since I am a school nurse) and I find I lift less in the pm than in the am!

    I am sure there must be some reason for that. Not sure what it is. But if I could...I'd always do morning

    i usually exercise right after i wake up. if i am going for a run, i have to be back before 6:30 a.m., which is when my husband leaves for work (we have kids). i will probably start running during my lunch break once it's too dark though, because i prefer to run in the park and it creeps me out if it's too dark.

    In the evenings after I get home from work. I can't function in a coordinated manner in the wee hours of the morning. It's already a miracle that I wear matching shoes and/or socks before I head to work.

    Get up at 4:00 and do my 35 min run. Work from 7-330. Stop at gym after work three days a week for an hour or so.

    In the evening, sometimes before or after dinner. Sometimes both...depends on what else is going on in my busy life!

    For running... in the morning, after I poop. :blushing:

    Lifting... when I'm in the mood and there's something decent on tv. I can't express enough how much I love being able to do that at home!

    I am not a morning person, although I am up by 6 AM most days! I find it difficult motivating myself to workout during the day. Evenings, after dinner I enjoy working out the best!

    First thing in the A.M. - That is, on days when I actually do exercise :)

    Usually from 10pm to midnight, other than hockey and walking on coffee breaks. I go to a 24hour gym so I like later at night when there is no one there!:bigsmile:

    Usually in the morning so I can get it out of the way, get showered, and get on with my day.

    I wake up at 8 am and I'm at the Gym by 8:30, usually stay until 9:45-10 each day. It's not always easy getting up that early, but I find if I wait I lose all motivation and 9 chances out of 10 I won't go. Early bird gets the worm, right? :laugh:

    I'm very fortunate to be self-employed, working from home. My body seems most receptive to physical activity anytime between 2pm to 6pm, so that's when I exercise. I'm envious of y'all who can jump out of bed and start working out: I've tried many times throughout the years to do that, and just can't handle it! :-)

    I prefer to workout after work...GREAT stress relief! And, the bed feels entirely too good in the mornings to even consider an am workout!

    During summer break I exercised first thing in the morning every morning. Now that school has started back I am struggling to get it in. I do have to do it in the evening if I can get it in. Trying to do it every other day.
