Hello everyone I'm pretty much new here, you all can call JuJu. I was wondering what time of the day do you workout. I tend to work out around lunch time but I feel like I rather work after dinner just to know I burned those calories off.

    I am a first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach guy. I get up with my kid and within an hour we are at the gym. I find that if I miss my morning window life gets in the way and it is entirely too easy to be too busy to get in the workout, plus my gym only has daycare during certain hours. Since I am the main cook and the one who is home during the day at my house that mean I have to work it in while still getting stuff done.

    I like to head to the gym right after work as it gives me time to turn off the brain and turn on the body before heading home for the evening. It works well for me.

    Midday roughly. I'd love earlier but just not possible, I can't walk properly till at least 10am & by then I'm on my way out somewhere. So when I get home at lunchtime I do it right away. Only takes me just over an hour & then I'm done. Will also do it on an empty stomach... nothing worse than trying to run on a full stomach.

    i'm like him ^^ i prefer to do my work out as early as possible in the morning, because you never know what your day is going to turn out like.


    and you don't burn off the calories from dinner. it doesn't work like that. your body has to digest and process it and turn it into energy for you to use.

    there is no "best" time to work out. it's all based on prefereance.

    Always in the morning. It works best for me, especially while I'm breastfeeding a newborn on-demand. :0)

    I workout Any time I have available. Usually try to follow a schedule and for me generally morning is good but truly as long as your getting it done... Your good!

    every other day 5.15am for my c25k run.
    sometimes I have enough energy for doing a workout right afterwards, like 30DS or any other thing.

    sometimes I manage to squeeze in an early evening workout as well.

    I work from home so my schedule is mostly flexible

    Around late morning to midday as I work nights so working out in the evening is not possible and very early morning I'm just climbing into bed after work.

    In the evening after work. It is what works with my schedule. Usually, when I am off, it is early afternoon... Just whatever works.
