What time do YOU work out?

Early morning for me. I'm usually up at 5:30AM to get to the gym by 6:30AM. We have a fitness center in our office's basement that's really nice so I'm usually there first thing in the morning. They also have a hour long boot camp class three days a week so do that plus cardio and weights.
Weekends is usually a little later by I try to get going by 7AM.0 -
No set time...but I do prefer to take my long walk of the day after 9pm...and usually walk 90 minutes or so. Otherwise, all other exercise is done whenever I do it.0

I run at 0615 every morning. Best advice I could give is to wake up at the same time every morning during the week even if you do not have to workout that day (I sleep in on the weekends). I found my body just got used to it. Getting to bed a little earlier never hurts too!0

I work out in the early mornings about 4 a.m. (which requires me to wake up at 3:30 or 3:40am because i LOVE the snooze button). this has always worked best for me since starting my life change. I get my work out in before getting ready and leaving for work and then IF i am in a energy pack mood, i can work out a little in the evening.0

In the mornings, first thing at home. I used to do it when ever. In fact, I find it easier to do in the afternoon. However, doing it in the mornings makes the rest of the day easier. I do cardio then strength right after to get that boost. It's tough, but I really do love the challenge.0

My preference is mid-morning around 10am. I hate working out after work because I work 12 + hours & I am usually too exhausted. I will have to revise this because I am starting the Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis 90 day program & I want to follow it to the "T." It will mean working out after work sometimes.0

Mornings....running at 5 am or circuit training at 5:30 am0

5am I like to get it out of the way to help me start my day. Boxing, strength training routine and an early morning jog before sun comes up.0
-
I always work out after work , from 6 pm to whenever I can fit in the time . Not a morning exercise person, never will be one either.0
-
I would love to say I get up bright and early and work out... and I do... once a week, if I am lucky... I fit it in whenever and where ever I can. I have noticed when I do it in the morning, I feel better and have more energy all day long though! Today, I will be working out after 7pm though.. booo...0

In the evenings. After teaching all day (125+ kids) and coming home with my own three, it doubles as a "getaway"...the longer, the better! :laugh:0

7-8pm after the gym crowd starts to die down.0
-
I have to be at work at 4 a.m. so no morning workout for me. I work out at home, usually around 6 or 7.0
-
I have to do it ght after work, NO excuses or I won't do it. I can't get up any earlier so morning workouts are out.0
-
As soon as I get my daughter to school. I'm already up and out, so gotta maintain momentum, or I'll go straight to work and never work out.0

I've never been able to do morning work outs.
Actually back in college we practiced from 6 AM until 8 AM and I despised it. But that was forced and I didn't have a choice. I could never get up to work out, I am a night person. Because of my current schedule I normally work out late at night but my favorite time to work out is before dinner so I can eat as much as I want at dinner without feeling guilty, the benefit to working out at night is I can burn off any extra calories for the day0 -
I workout at home.
I have to be up by 4:20 just to get ready for work by 6:30 am (I work 4/10's) and get my son ready for school, so that leads me to have to workout later at night. After I get home by 6 pm, cook, tend to son, clean up and get him in the bed by 8, usually I'm working out around 8/8:30-10/10:30 at night and do it all over again the next day for 6 days a week!
A lot of dedication and hard work squeezed in there, but It works!

I work out on a stationary bike for 30 minutes every morning after I get up, usually around 5am-6am.
I walk at different time during the day, often arriving at work an hour early to walk, including up and down stairs.
I go to the gym after work. It's not as busy then. I go straight home, shower, and fix dinner.
This is working well for me.0 -
i usually work out in the evenings...between 5-9...whenever i can..lol0
-
I'm a at-home exerciser too. I wait until after dinner then jump on my bike. I pop on a TV show and and push myself to make it to the next commercial break to push my physical limits.0

Mon thru Fri, mid morning from 10:30 to 11:30. Thankfully my gym is right here at work so I can get a good 45-50 minutes in, take a quick shower, fix my bangs and come back to my desk within the hour. Once in a while I go later in the day if I have a meeting.
On the weekends it varies depending on what I've got going on and the weather.0 -
I work out M/W/F at the start of my work day, thanks to being in the military and having mandatory physical training.
But my personal workouts tend to be in the afternoon and evening. In the on-base gym, we actually have an inverse situation to what yours seems to be. Usually we're crowded before work and then everybody's heading home right after work. So the gym tends to be open after work and pretty much empty past 8 PM.
Part of why I really prefer afternoon / evening workouts is relieving stress from the day and the increased ability for me to focus. When I exercise in the morning, I'm constantly looking at my watch to be sure I'm not going to be late for work. But my evenings and nights are free, so I'm able to focus on my exercise and not on my watch.0 -
In a perfect world, around 4:00 PM. This is the time of day when our body temperatures are generally the highest and exercise output is enhanced.0

i wake up at 4:30am CST.....do my calisthenics & strength for anywhere from 10-30min...then go for a run for 30min...usually do at least 2miles, but if i finish the 2miles in less the 20 min...I'll walk the rest of the time....as a cool down. then shower and get myself ready for work and my oldest ready for school!
if i have time in the afternoons after work and supper or if i miss my workout in the morning....i'll wait for everyone to go to bed and the my routine in the evening.
but i do prefer the mornings. it energizes me and everyone is still asleep you i can enjoy my workout w/o interruption!
Hope it helps

I usually work out when the children are in bed at night; however, if I know that I will be busy I get up and do it early. So, in short... whenever I can!0
-
5am every work day. It sucked at first but I made myself do something, even 15 minutes. 12 weeks later I look forward to my time in the morning and regularly wake before my alarm. The best part is that I feel great all day long. The thought of working out and then trying to sleep seems like wasting a good buzz0

I workout at home0

sorry....this is a reply to MinnieInMaine!0 -
morning always the morning for a few reasons.
1. the gym is at its least crowded at this time
2. it gets it out of the way. if i leave it til later theres more chance something will come up and i wont do it.0
