    Wow, there are a LOT of early risers! I find it so hard to get up to exercise in the mornings so I usually do it in the evenings. But is it much easier to not do it later. If I did it in the morning, then no excuses!

    How do you find the motivation to get up so early?

    I have tried to make myself get up to exercise in the morning but I just can't do it. I am not a morning person so getting up earlier than absolutely required does not work for me. I have to work out in the evening.

    If you are not a morning person, and just can't get that in before work/school...don't force yourself. As long as you are getting it in, you should be fine!

    Usually, I get up at 4:45am and go to bed between 8:45 and 9. I like to get in a good hour or more of exercise every morning before work....

    I say usually b/c I am currently on No Exercise :`( b/c of a back injury.....can't wait until I"m allowed again. My running is going to suck!

    Up at like the very butt-crack of dark (4 AM) to get my "poop in a group" and ready for the gym... If I want more weight training, I get up earlier. Make the 45- 50 minute commute to the Air Force base where I work, and hit the gym. Usually crank out some quick weight training, and then an hour of cardio on the elliptical. Fast forward to 11AM or so, where I get another hour on the elliptical trainer. Post work, I make the return trip to my home trail, where I try to get some mileage in on the road bike, or I get some running done... I sleep like a baby, fur shurr.

    I've been doing it for so long; plus I used to have a 3 hour daily commute with no guarantee that I could leave at 5pm (usually more like 7 or 8pm during certain deal cycles); so I just started getting up at 4:30 to exercise, then leave for work by 5:45...I packed my breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner (when during the two weeks out of each month that I knew it would likely be 7 or 8pm before I could get home). I did that for so many years....I'm used to it.

    I get up between 5:30-5:40 to workout. I try to be in bed by 9 and read for 20 to 40 minutes before turning out the light, that way I can get 8 hours of sleep.

    Ditto!

    I usually am in bed by 10pm and wake up around 7 or 7:30. I get into my exercise clothes and am at the gym and on the treadmill by 8AM. I do the treadmill for 60- 80 minutes, then it is into the pool for an hour. After, I use the hot tub for 20 minutes and then shower. I do this 6 days a week and don't change my schedule for anyone or anything unless it is a true emergency.
