My motivation and energy is best mid to late afternoon. Can't stand early mornings or after dinner. 3:00 to 4:00 is my sweet spot.

Wish I could work out in the morning but I am basically like a vampire when the morning sun hits my eyes: I burst into flames, so I workout at night before going to sleep

Welcome to MFP!! I'm a night owl so I generally work out in the evenings - bootcamp starts at 7:00pm. Running is the exception to this - I have to run in the AM when I'm training for a race. I'm sure it's all mental, but somehow I just don't have the same energy when I run in the evening......but I also can't do a bootcamp in the morning, it kills me. Go figure.....

Mornings for sure- I try to get to the gym for 5:30am, just as it's opening. Nice and quiet and lots of free equipment! Wakes me up and helps keep me on track for the day.
