    I used to open a gym at 5 AM and you wouldn't believe the number of people who would be waiting at the door for me to open when I got there (and I was never late, pretty much always right on time) it would only get busier in the next couple hours before the work day started! I always thought the people were kind of nuts but I'd MUCH rather work out at the end of the day, even a long day then wake up early and go! Everyone has their preference but A LOT of people like the work out in the morning. I had 6 AM practices in college and it IS a nice way to wake up for the day but as a night owl it means I'm NOT getting enough sleep

    I swore I'd never get up early just to exercise. I really hate exercise.... especially by myself. So, are you going to get up at 5:45?? I will too. And, I will start tomorrow. Maybe this will motivate both of us!

    Still don't get people up at 3 & 4 am!! ugh... but... we gotta do what we gotta do! and I really need to get moving or I'll not lose a pound!.

    This seems like way too much working out to me honestly unless you're exaggerating. Working out that much can actually be counterproductive.

    I go to the gym during the week around 4:45 a.m. It's truly the only time I get to exercise. I don't set an alarm - 95% of the time I wake up in time to go - if I don't, I don't beat myself up, because I need the sleep. Most nights I average about 6 to 6.5 hours of sleep, so if I happen to oversleep a bit, I know I needed it..

    Almost, I'm walking to the gym at 5:45 for my 6am spin class, or my weight training, or whatever I'm doing that morning. I'm in the shower by 7:15 or so at the gym then at work by 8:30, since the train station is right next door.

    I pack my lunch and work clothes the night before, brush my teeth, grab my lunch and my backpack and go.

    4 days a week I am hauling my *kitten* up to the highway at 5:45 to catch the bus to work. I don't count it as exercise.

    well where are you? I sometimes go at 9am so if you're on the east coast that would be about the same time.

    EDIT. lol, im dumb, wrong direction in time.

    Just posted this on my wall

    I want to workout in the morning at 5am. I live on the top floor. Our apartments are old and squeaky. Do you think its rude if I do a Blogilates cardio workout that early? It consists of bur-pees, some jumps etc. Normally I'll do it later in the day...Suggestions? I texted the guy below me once and apologized if I was too loud while working out, he never responded so I don't know if he got the message. :(

    Well, imho, it might cause problems with ur neighbors. Kinda depends on what type of schedules they keep. I probably wouldnt, but then I dont like conflict either.

    I'm heading to the office at 5:45 a.m. - does that count? I work out in the evenings because I don't want to set my alarm for 3am.

    I'm out the door at 5:15 in the morning on work days, running in the dark with 2 big dogs and a bullwhip. Sometimes I go later on the weekends so I can get some sun.

    Alarm goes off most mornings at 4:20am. Weekday classes at my gym begin at 5:00am. I like to go at that time because it isn't as crowded and I don't have a problem getting a bike for RPM! :)
