    It depends on the weather. If it's super hot out like it was most of this summer, I'd get up at 5am to get that ride in while it was cooler out. Otherwise I wouldn't do it!

    Weekdays: in bed by 9 p.m., awake before 5 a.m. to work-out before the kids wake up at 6:30.
    Weekends: in bed by 10 p.m., wake up by 6 a.m. to work out before the kids wake up....

    And even on days that I tell myself I want to sleep in and relax, I can't help waking up like clockwork, but I don't mind so much.... It's the only part of my day that is MY time. :)

    4:30 am and usually before 10pm.

    Same here. When my alarm goes off at 4:25 I wake up and take 5 min to get moving.

    One I was ruined after the service and just get up early. My wife has a love/hate relationship with it. The hate is getting up early, the love is I usually have the kitchen cleaned up and coffee ready for her when she gets up. LOL

    I figure if I get the my workout in first thing in the morning there are no excuses for missing it later in the data. When I travel it is is much easier to already be in the habit because the hotel gyms are packed by 6am and I am usually done by the time they start coming in.

    Alarm at 5:30. My gym is only 7 minutes away driveway-to-parking-space and there is never anyone on the road that early. I shoot for getting there at 6:00am.

    Unfortunately I don't usually get to bed until 10:30pm/11:00pm. I'm usually pretty tired by about 2pm at work and definitely have 2-3 cups of Starbuck Keurig and 1 Red Bull. #notgood

    alarm 4:20... dressed and out the door by 4:45 to the Y. Bedtime is usually before 11:00.
    Sometimes if I am not able to sleep several days in a row I may go to bed by 8:00...
    Hubby snores, I really need to be asleep before him.

    Wow, there are a LOT of early risers! I find it so hard to get up to exercise in the mornings so I usually do it in the evenings. But is it much easier to not do it later. If I did it in the morning, then no excuses!

    How do you find the motivation to get up so early?

    I have tried to make myself get up to exercise in the morning but I just can't do it. I am not a morning person so getting up earlier than absolutely required does not work for me. I have to work out in the evening.

    If you are not a morning person, and just can't get that in before work/school...don't force yourself. As long as you are getting it in, you should be fine!
