    in the evening. I work PT so on the days I work, I go to the gym before even going home and do my weights and cross training. on the other days that I'm home with the baby, I go running as soon as my husband gets home. It usually works out perfect except for the times (like last night) when hubby didn't get home until 7:30 and it was dark out and we had to give the baby a bath and do bedtime. In those cases, I don't get my run in and I want to die. I'm going to have a problem pretty soon when it gets dark out before he gets home. I might have to try morning runs, which I am not looking forward to!

    I schedule my workout for 7pm. Like tonight, if something comes up, I do it after the kids go to bed at 8:30.

    I am not a morning person, so if I run, it's around 10pm. I'm usually pretty wound up from from finishing work at 9pm, so it helps me unwind at the end of the day.

    If I'm not working that day, it's usually a rock climbing afternoon.

    I go after work. I stop home first and take the dogs for a walk. Then, I get dressed and head to the gym. I usually get there around 6:30PM and leave an hour later. I don't miss the time. My evenings used to be spent sitting at home and watching tv.

    I enjoy my rest. I refuse to wake up at 4:30 in the morning just to workout. However, that could change if my cicumstancs change. Right now, I am single with no children.

    This is my story (minus the pooch), or was for quite awhile. I mostly work out at home, but I still do it in the evenings. So not a morning person.

    since the weather is so nice lately i have just been walking home from work. it is a bit over 3 miles. before that i went straight after work. i go to a city park gym rather than a standard gym. they never seem to be busy no matter what time of day. if there even are other people there everyone is there to work out and doesn't even make eye contact with each other.

    If I don't do it in the morning, it's likely to not get done.

    I go to either a 5:45 or 9:15 spin class depending on my schedule.
    When I swim, I go to the pool around 11 because it's outdoors and I enjoy a little sunshine.

    The days that I have to go to the evening spin class, it nags at me all day.
    I love getting it done in the morning, not having to worry about it all day, and giving myself a boost of energy for my day.

    Early morning for me. I'm usually up at 5:30AM to get to the gym by 6:30AM. We have a fitness center in our office's basement that's really nice so I'm usually there first thing in the morning. They also have a hour long boot camp class three days a week so do that plus cardio and weights.

    Weekends is usually a little later by I try to get going by 7AM.

    No set time...but I do prefer to take my long walk of the day after 9pm...and usually walk 90 minutes or so. Otherwise, all other exercise is done whenever I do it.

    I run at 0615 every morning. Best advice I could give is to wake up at the same time every morning during the week even if you do not have to workout that day (I sleep in on the weekends). I found my body just got used to it. Getting to bed a little earlier never hurts too!

    I work out in the early mornings about 4 a.m. (which requires me to wake up at 3:30 or 3:40am because i LOVE the snooze button). this has always worked best for me since starting my life change. I get my work out in before getting ready and leaving for work and then IF i am in a energy pack mood, i can work out a little in the evening.

    In the mornings, first thing at home. I used to do it when ever. In fact, I find it easier to do in the afternoon. However, doing it in the mornings makes the rest of the day easier. I do cardio then strength right after to get that boost. It's tough, but I really do love the challenge.

    My preference is mid-morning around 10am. I hate working out after work because I work 12 + hours & I am usually too exhausted. I will have to revise this because I am starting the Tracy Anderson's Metamorphosis 90 day program & I want to follow it to the "T." It will mean working out after work sometimes.

    5am I like to get it out of the way to help me start my day. Boxing, strength training routine and an early morning jog before sun comes up.

    I would love to say I get up bright and early and work out... and I do... once a week, if I am lucky... I fit it in whenever and where ever I can. I have noticed when I do it in the morning, I feel better and have more energy all day long though! Today, I will be working out after 7pm though.. booo...
