    Yes!! I get up with my husband to make him breakfast and then I try to get my exercise in before the kids get up. Doesn't always work that way but they know not to ask for anything before I am done!

    4:45 AM for this guy. I am walking the dog by 5 AM for 45 to 60 minutes. Only missed a couple of days over the past 2 years. Pretty good considering Iowa Winter can be a bit brisk. Got to love windchill (not)!

    In bed by 10pm and up at 515am. Start Insanity at 530am. On the days I sleep in I feel guilty about not doing my workout and do it as soon as I get up.

    I'm up & working out at 5:00 every day. I usually get to bed around 11 or 12, so I rarely get more than six hours of sleep. It's not always easy, but it does become a habit. And its far easier for me to knock it out in the morning than after a long day.

    I can't work out that early during the week because I have to get to work pretty early, but on the weekends I'm out the door and running/walking at 5:30.

    Yep -- I exercise every morning at either 5:15am or 5:30am -- MST. I go to some classes that start at that time. Love early mornings -- nothing every conflicts with my schedule at that time. I have no excuses to keep me from it. Of course I have to go to bed early -- THAT can be hard!

    There's a 5:45 in the morning?
    Wow, who knew!


    After retirement, that hour is taken off the clock!! Senior Rec center doesn't open till 9 (11 on Friday), so my partner and I don't get to exercise till 10am (11:10 on Friday). That way we can watch THE DOCTORS while working out. Well, except for Fridays, then we go right after the show is over.

    I need to fit more exercise in; like my recumbant bike that's sitting in the front room. I did manage to do 10 minutes yesterday on it.

    I'm up at 5:00 a.m. and at the gym by 5:30. When I'm exercising at home (a dvd or just the treadmill) I'm up at 5:30.
    I have to get it in before work. It keeps me sane.

    This was the first morning of my new AM workout routine, and I was on the treadmill by 5:05! It was hell, but in the end I know it's worth it... =]

    I'm up at 5:00am and working out by 5:30am. That's the only time that works for me. I haven't read through the entire thread and someone else may have already suggested this, but I found that sleeping with a nightlight makes it much easier to wake up when the alarm clock goes off.

    I get up at 5AM and exercise till my husband is done getting ready for work and then i go get ready for the day. Makes for a long day but the payoff will be great. i also exercise a little in the evening too.:smile:

    Nice if you can do it and a few months ago I was regularly up with the lark power-walking. Now I've moved on to jogging and I find I can't do it that early; blood sugar level must be too low or something - I just haven't the energy. Pity, because it's good to get the slog (and the shower) out of the way early if possible.
