    My husband is a baker so on the days he works I get up with him. Which means that I get to the gym between 3am and 5am, depending on how early he has to work. So you're not the only one! I love getting my workout done early, it makes me so much more productive at work and I love being able to just crash out after work.

    Four-O-Eight. That's what time my husband and I usually get up to go to the gym before work. I'm usually exercising by 5:15 a.m. We either go to the gym, pool, or the part to walk/jog. This morning he swam, and I went to TRX class. Tomorrow I'll hit my Trekking class before going to Pilates. I'm usually at work by 8 or 9. We've both been doing this for decades. It's the only way I've found to stay consistent with my exercise. I kind of like that at that time in the morning the roads are pretty empty. :happy:

    Yes. I get up at 5:00 to workout. I'm wanting to start getting up 15 or so minutes earlier to get a little more of a workout in, but it is pretty hard to get up when I do already.

    I'm up anywhere between 5 and 5:15 depending on what class/workout I'm doing!

    Anything before that and I cannot function!

    Of course!! Some days when I have an early class then work after so I have no time to workout later. I get my butt in the gym at 5:00am :)

    I work out at 5:15 when I know it won't fit in after work due to family obligations. But I try not to get up that early two days in a row, if I can help it. Generally I get up that early 2-3 days a week.

    Obviously I'm just starting out. Do you guys eat before you exercise in the morning or after?

    I was up at 6am to work out this morning and hopefully every morning. I eat afterwards, or I'd puke. I think it sets You up for a day of good eating, rather than thinking "I'll eat X, Y and Z now and make up for it later.

    Yes! I get up at 5:30 and generally start exercising between 5:40 - 5:50 in this morning. So much easier to get up, do it, and be done with it. :smile:

    Yup. Start lifting around 5-5:10am then go into a 545 Spin class, there are a lot of us in there!

    When I was in high school I would get up and go that early in the morning. Now I just don't have the energy in the morning. I am not a morning person at all!! If I had to get up that early every morning I would die! Has it helped you with your weight loss efforts?

    If i'm going for a casual jog I won't eat beforehand, if I'm doing weights I will

    My gym opens at 530am so I walk there ten minutes before. When I was running I was out at 4:50 or 5AM for my 5 miles. It is all quiet and calm at that time of the day!

    I hope to be up by 5am and exercising until at least 5:30 or 5:45 -- then shower, kiddos, then work...I feel better seeing everyone else doing the same. :) I think I just found my motivation to make it happen. And I know I will feel SO MUCH BETTER!

    Up at 4:15am Mon-Fri. You aren't the only nutty early morning riser.

    I like it when people tell me I'm nuts. Makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something most people can't :drinker:

    After. I started getting an upset stomach a few months into my routine if I had much before a workout in the morning. I usually have a protein shake before, that's it

    I usually work out at work during lunch, but lately that hasn't been working too well. I'm switching my routine & will be going at 4am. Must be in shower by 5:15 in order to leave the house by 6:15 & commute to work by 8. I usually am in bed by 9pm but with this new routine I may pass out about 8...at least at first.
