What time do YOU work out?

What time(s) of the day do you work out, and what do you do? Is it working out well for you? I'm thinking about trying to work out in the early morning because I hate the crowded gym, and it doesn't die down until 7, and by then it doesn't really become a priority. Advice on working out earlier in the morning?

Between the pull of work and family and the constant list of home repair and improvement chores, I basically have zero opportunity for any sort of structured workout. I'm a terrible insomniac, so waking up at 4AM ain't. gonna. happen.

So I just started bicycling to work (28 mile round trip, hilly). Not every day, but as often as I can manage it. 1,700+ miles so far this year.

Of course, with the cold weather here in Maine fast approaching, it's going to be time to hang the bike up for the season soon and stop the home improvement on the weekends, so I'll get out the skis and snowshoes and start spending more weekend quality time with my daughter again. Not exactly what I'd call misery.

Just find a way to replace something inactive with something active. Park at the ridiculously furthest parking spot you can find and add a few hundred feet to your walk. Take the stairs, at least a few floors. Stand up every now and then and do ten squats at your desk. Or replace your commute with a bike ride (a few people here at work with really long commutes drive to a park-and-ride about 5 miles away, ditch their cars, and do the last 5 miles on a bicycle. That's ten miles a day on a bike. Sure beats the hell out of zero miles on a bike).

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.

I am the same- except I am up at 3:20am!!!!

I work out at 5:30 am. Just set your alarm and force yourself. Its hard at first but then after two weeks you will get into a routine. oh an make sure you are in bed by 10.

I usually head to the gym around 8:30-9:00 at night and do 1-2 hours. I go to a 24-hour gym and at that hour there is hardly anyone there, often I am the only one.

Usually when I get off work... so around 8:00pm, ugh! It's a rough life lol. but you do what you gotta do!

I work out between 10pm and midnight. I've been working on trying to work out first thing in the morning, but I just hit snooze.

Up at 6 am, workout (crossfit) from 7 am to 8 am Monday thru Friday. I just made it part of my morning routine.

I workout first thing in the morning before eating. This helps the body internally create HGH, which helps with weight loss and benefits the body in many ways. This is explained in Rusty Moore's Vacation Body Blueprint, I wrote about my first experiment with doing this process --> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/745151-i-got-a-compliment-from-rusty-moore-from-fitness-black-book

Since I don't need to lose weight anymore I just eat up my maintenance calories the rest of the day.

I hit the weights hard, or usually 1 to 1.5 hours. Then cardio for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Every day is different with the weights and cardio. The routine I do consists of weight lifting first and cardio second, but I still do cardio (mainly running). I change up everything all the time. My running is sometimes long easy runs, sometimes HIIT, sometimes shorter medium pace runs. My weight routine changes each day, each week, Circuits, Intermittent Super Sets, Fibonacci Pyramids, X-sets, Progress Venus Pyramids, and some splits, constantly changing it up, everything a variety of Strength, Hypertrophy, and Endurance.

Legs; In addition to Deadlift's, Stiff Leg Dead Lifts, Sumo Dead Lifts and Squats I do Bulgarian Split Squats, Lunges, Reverse lunges, Curtsey lunges, Step Ups, Crossover Bench Step Ups, One legged Deadlifts (T-Bend), Lunge Matrix, Bowler Squat, One Legged Get Ups, Bower Squat and Heel Raise, Bowler Squat + Stiff Leg Deadlift, Curtsey Lunge + Dumbbell Squat, T-Bend + Y-Squat, Reverse Lunge & Step Up, Curtsey Lunge + Step Up, Y-squat, Narrow Stance Squat

For upper body I do Standing Shoulder Press, Standing Dumbell Curls, Lying Tricep extension, Pullovers, Bent Barbell Row, Standing lateral Raise, Standing front Raise, Curl and Press, Shoulder Press + Curl, Dips, Lying Tricep Extensions + Flyes, Venus Raise (a type of snatch), Bent Row + Standing Lateral Raise, Pullovers, Pushup + Dips, Standing Dumbbell curls + Overhead Tricep Extension, Bent Lateral Raise + Pullovers, One Arm Dumbbell row, Flyes + Pushups, Seated Curl & Tate Press, Seated Curls + Overhead Tricep Extension, Pushups, Pullovers + Dips, Bent Barbell Row, Lateral Raise + Full Front Raise, Venus Raise + Dips, Standing Dumbbell curls + Lying Tricep Extension, Upright Row + Dips, Bent Barbell Row, Flat bench Press, Incline Bench Press, Bent Row Narrow, Bent Row + Kickback,

Then some upper and lower combos; Squat and Front Raise, Step Up & Press, Step Up + Standing Shoulder Press, Squat & Press, Squat & Swing, Curtsy Lunge + Standing Shoulder Pres, T-Bend & Row, Pike Front Rais + Curtsey Lunge, Flat Bench Press + Step Up.

Core: Bar Bell Rollouts (you can start out with Stability Ball Roll Outs), Swiss Ball Pikes (you can start out with Stability Ball Curl Ups), and planks. As you advance Swiss Ball Pike and pushup.

I probably forgot some but you get the idea.

LOL, probably more than you needed to know but maybe you'll get something out of it.

Whenever I can. If I'm lifting it's usually in the morning. Cardio, whenever I have the time to. Works for me. If I didn't workout I'd probably kill someone.

Or just be more sarcastic.

I work out in the morning my goal is to start at 530am but so far its around 7..thats best for me being a mom and working full time

I feel I do my best workout in the a.m. I drink some green tea,have some oatmeal,then workout for abt.90 minutes or more.Then I refresh with protein after workout,feel great all day when I do this!:)

I have been trying it about 6:30pm every day. I like it better because I think my body has more fuel than in the morning, I decided tonight to save dinner until afterward though because I'm not used to running with a full tummy!

Was at the gym 5.45am

I work shift work, but it's always the same 2 times of the day. Either @ 10:30am or 3:15pm. They are perfect imes actually, the wife and kids are usually at work and school.
