    nights.. I seriously cannot move in the morning..I need the stored energy from the day to get me through my workouts.
  • I try to work out through out the day. I'm currently looking for a job so it's not like I haven't got the time to work out whenever. The time I e n j o y working out the most varies, but I'm definitely not a morning person. Most often I do my cardio a little past noon and then save strength and balance/flexibility for the evenings.

    I have been doing work out videos in the morning for the motivation to go out, but I go to the gym before dinner.
    I seem to be doing it strange, r u only meant to work out once a day?

    Me too.

    My gym doesn't open until 7 AM, so weekday morning workout is no go.

    Morning
  • I tend to like jogging in the morning and then if I am planning on doing a different exercise like cycling/yoga I like to do these at nighttime. I am a little strange. :laugh:

    I go to the gym at 430 then go home change, go to work, walk for 30 minutes during lunch and then go back to the gym on my way home from work most days.. no matter what I do the morning routine because I have no excuse for not going but at night I can find excuses not to go.

    Definitely a night person!
    Much cooler out at night but I feel more energized if I exercise in the morning.
    Any tips on how you have switched this pattern/gotten used to it?
    Ideas?

    Morning...before my body figures out what's going on..... but I also workout after work to release the day.
  • I have to workout in the evening after the kids have gone to bed. I would love to try morning sweat sessions but I hate to wake up the little ones and end up getting an interrupted run at it! :angry:

    I prefer working out in the morning but usually do it in the afternoon cuz it is too hard to get up at 330 am most mornings

    BOTH!! Depending on what group fitness classes are on offer at the gym. I love doing pilates in the evening because it makes me sleep a lot better :)

    I have a rough time getting my heart rate up in the mornings..which is surprising because I'm a morning person! Nights for me, right after work. If I walk in my door at home, I'm not going to the gym!

    Tried both and I personally find that working out at night is sooo much better. I have a lot more energy at night, while I get tired really quick in the morning!

    Fasted cardio in the mornings. Strength training in the evenings.
  • Since I work night shift it has been difficult to find a good time.... i thought that right after work in the morning would work but I'm so tired from the night that I can't put the right effort into it. I find that working out in the afternoon after i wake up and before I go back to work at 7p gives me the energy to keep going well into the night and i sleep like a baby the next morning. :)

    I work out immediately after work, before I go home. If my bag is packed with my workout gear in my car, I don't make excuses. Personally, I can't seem to get my heart rate going in the morning.

    Morning ALL THE WAY! =)
  • I work out during the early evening hours; anytime between 5 - 7. I find it to be a good way to decompress after work. Not to mention that working out before dinner blunts my appetite and promotes a solid night's sleep.

    I have NEVER been able to work out in the morning! I don't know what's wrong with my body and why it doesn't like AM workouts. I feel drained the entire day if I exercise in the mornings : ) I work out in the evenings and sleep like a baby when I do : )

    This. Morning workouts make me feel terrible. I have tons of energy after dinner. Shrug.

    I work out in the morning! and yes it was struggle but Im not just adjusting! so far Its simple stuff tho. A little Cardio and then some strength trainig. I feel i dont know anything tho! but hopefully in time i will get the flow. Mornings are better to wake me up and also not alot of ppl on the machines you need.

    I workout after work, the gym is conveniently on my way home. I like to go after work because it helps me to de stress (I work at an animal shelter at the intake desk so I have some pretty stressful days). I always feel better after I workout. On my days off I will try to get my walk in early when it's cooler outside, especially now that we're in the middle of summer:)

    Like some others here, if I workout in the mornings I'm tired for the rest of the day. So evenings work best for me.

    My preference in mornings, but I find that I cannot do tougher workouts on an empty stomach, so mostly, I do evenings.
