    Yes, about that. The alarm goes off at 4:30 AM at my house, and I exercise as soon as I can get my ca-ca together.

    (that's on a good day; I've had a lot of bad ones lately)

    I am but only on days when I have to be at work early. I like to exercise in the early morning as it is a great energizer for my day and then I am sure to do it!

    I'm was up @ 4:45 and exercising by 5 after taking care of the dogs & getting dressed. Now that I've started P90X and its longer I'm up @ 4:20 and exercising by about 4:30-4:35. Then I'm off to the shower and my husband does his P90X.

    I was setting the alarm at 3:25AM to be in the gym around 3:40 and out by 5AM, but I've started getting up at 3:15AM to try to be there at 3:30AM because I want to get more weight lifting in.


    I don't like getting up early, but I like the results. I try to lay out my gym bag and clothes and everything, so that the alarm rings, I put on my shoes, and hit the door...If I don't organize the previous night, and i can't find my car keys or something, It give me another excuse to just go back to bed.

    I commute an hour to work each way, and I'm beat up by traffic after work. I tried going after work, but I don't like the crowds and waiting to use equipment, and it's just easier for me to make excuses not to go.

    Awesome! I'll be thinking of all of u in the morning :). Do what time do yall go to slerp? Morning exercise is so hard for me because I love the nighttime and therefore stay up too late. I'm gonna try yo remedy that.

    I work out at 4:15 in the morning, usually in the shower by 5:45, don't know if that helps.

    Yup, I wake up at 5:30am, EST. I'm usually facing Jillian Michaels on my TV by 5:45 to do the Shred.

    I have to be done before my kids wake up and all the chaos begins.

    I go to bed around 10 most nights. So I get 7 or 7.5 hours of sleep.

    I take Wednesdays off from exercise, and on the weekends I fit it into my day wherever I can. My husband is great about watching the kids while I workout, so I don't have to wake up early.

    I'm slightly later at 6am, but I'm there every weekday, like clockwork. It's a great way to start the day! It's the only time I have to exercise, so if I miss it I am kicking myself all day.
