    The best time to work out is the time that you'll actually do it.

    For me, working out in the morning is best because I am fresh and not worn out from the day. Not everybody finds this to be true, so you just have to fit it in. The key is just to be consistent and build the habit. Once you do, it's a piece of cake!

    On weekdays, I don't go to the gym until 9:00-9:30 and stay 1-2 hours. I go to bed at 12:00 and have never had trouble getting to sleep.

    I do it. It works for me pretty well. I do my workout, shower, and go to bed exhausted.

    This!

    Because of kids and other family obligations, I usually don't head to the gym or go running until 8:30-9pm.

    I'm a bit of a night person to begin with, so I rarely get to be before midnight anyway, and it's never ruined my sleep.

    Everyone is different though, so there's no right answer. Just give it a shot and see if it works for you.

    I often don't go running until 830 or 9 because my running buddy likes to out her daughter to bed before she does. I find I need about an hour after before I can sleep but it works well for me.

    Working out that late usually wires me and makes it hard for me to go to sleep. I have trouble getting up early enough to get my walk in before I head off to start my day so i understand the need to do it later in the day. It's hard for me, though.
