When do you exercise?

I get up at 5 to work out before work Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday, skip Monday and Friday, work out Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon.

My gym is open pretty late, so I usually go in the early evening, but sometimes I go in the late evening. I don't think I have ever gone to the gym earlier than...2 p.m. in my life. Haha

I would prefer to exercise early in the day. However - it's very hard to get myself up in the morning, I'm a night owl.

During the week, I get home around 5 (work 8-4:30). I workout at the gym most nights, usually around 7 pm. On the weekends, I go much earlier in the day because that's what I prefer.

I get up at 5 and go before work twice a week and I go on sunday morning/afternoons.

I end up working out late at night (usually around 1130pm) b/c of my work schedule. Unfortunately this is the best time for me. Sometimes on my day off I will hit the gym earlier.

I have to be at work at 8 and it takes me 40 mins to get there. I get up at 4 am to workout.

I get up extremely early to workout (at the gym by 5am). I shower at the gym and go from there to work. It's a pain getting up so early, but it is starting to pay off.

For rides generally right after work - for circuit type work around 10 pm

I work from home and my wife goes to an office. Our day starts at 5am where she gets ready to drive an hour to the office and be there at 7am. While she gets ready, I make her breakfast and lunch for her to take along.

After she's home around 4pm, we typically head to the gym and work out together. Come home and make dinner and relax the evening.

On weekends, we go early to mid afternoon. During a Packer game, the gym is pretty much deserted.

I tend to work out after I get off work at 5pm. I work full time and I'm also in school full time, so it's hard. Tues and Thurs I'm in class till 7:30 at night after work so I have to go to the gym after that and sometimes don't even get home and eat dinner till 9pm or later.

Getting up early and working out worked for me before I had kids. I literally would go to bed in my workout clothes. That way as soon as my alarm went off I would grab my bag and head to the gym, or go downstairs to my treadmill. I was working out before my mind really knew I was awake :-). I now work at a company that has a gym on site so I go from runs on my lunch hour and can take a shower before I go back to work.

During the week, I workout when I get home from work, weekends and holidays, I workout in the morning, usually after 8am. Had enough of early morning workouts when I was training for triathlons

If you commit to 30 minutes of exercise a day, there is nothing to say it has to be all at the same time. Three or four short bursts of activity can be just as effective as one sustained period. So, if it works better for you to take a break at work and walk around the block at a fast pace a couple of times (5-10 minutes) two or three times a day, go for it. Take the last 5 minutes of your lunch break to walk up and down stairs that you can find. There are any number of websites and information blogs that show you how to get exercise and burn calories in short bursts. If your hubby is like my hubby, he won't commit to going for a walk with me, but he likes that I am trying to lose weight and improve myself, and that helps me to lose the guilt of taking that 10 or 15 minute walk after eating my evening meal. Where there's a will, there's a way. Good luck to you.

For me it depends on which shift I am working. Today I will work out after work, mant times I run while I am at work, which is great and then do a DVD workout when I get home. I prefer to workout when I wake up. It tends to give me all the energy I need to kick butt throughout the day. IDK if I am odd or not but I also tend to workout on an empty stomach if it is 1st thing in the morning.

In the evenings after class or teaching. Or whenever I fancy it on the weekends.
I couldn't bear to workout in the morning, apart from some crunches.

Usually evenings. In the summer, however, it is either early morning or later evening because of the heat. During the school year, especially with after school tutoring, 8-10 PM is my workout time and if anyone interferes, it can get really ugly. I don't deal well with stress and those workouts are probably the only reason I'm not in jail yet :laugh:

Just remember this
1 hour of your day is only 4.1667%

That is very little of your time.
