    I can't work out on an empty stomach, I just don't have any energy and I feel sick to my stomach the whole time. If I'm lifting, I have a decent breakfast at 5:30 am, then straight to the gym. I've tried going after work, but it's too busy then and I hate waiting for equipment. Plus, then I can just go straight home after work. If I'm just using the track, I'll go after work and I'll have a snack before hand (an apple and some cheese or something) and then have dinner when I get home.

    Weekends vary with what else I've got going on that day.

    I used to exercise after work, but now I do it in the morning before. Less stress about "life" happening and not being able to work out.

    First thing in the morning! I usually eat something small 30 minutes beforehand and then it's straight to the gym. If I wait any later I probably won't go. And it's nice to just know that I already have it out of the way. :)

    I work out at home right after work. Walk in the door and put on workout clothes or it wont happen. Also it mellows me out from the day excerise really is my stress relief. On the weekends as soon as I get up or it will not happen.

    Whenever it fits in, which is usually after work, after dinner, after putting the kiddo to bed on weekdays and during his mid-morning naps on weekends.

    Whenever my boys give me the chance which, at the moment, is usually in the late morning after breakfast.

    I like working out in the evening preferably before dinner. :) that way I have a lot of energy and I can gauge what I can eat later

    I mostly work out during the week after work. In the winter I try to hit an early morning spin class once or twice a week (because I can't otherwise) but now since the weather is nice I ride outside in the evenings. I tend to usually take weekends off but I've been getting some workouts in. Weekend workouts are after a light breakfast (yogurt, banana, coffee) and a little time on the computer.

    after work from 5:30 until around 7pm. afternoon snack before and post workout snack/shake after. I'm already up at 5:30am for work and getting up any earlier to workout before would make me less functional at work. One the weekends it varies.

    Right after work - starting about 5:30 or 6 PM.

    On the weekend I do it Saturday morning about 10 AM.

    First thing on an empty stomach and before my brain tries to convince me not to. :tongue: Love getting it done as a start to my day, plus in the warmer months, have to get it done early to beat the heat!
    THIS (pretty much word for word). Not always on an empty stomach though...some days I'll eat half of a granola bar or something, but only if I'm feeling hungry.

    Tues and Thurs i eat breakfast at 6:30am and workout from 7:30-9am. It's really the only chance I have to work out, but thankfully my body agrees with the timing.

    After my long day of sitting at work! I have a snack right before I leave work @ 4:30ish usually a greek 0% yogurt or even mini pretzels with peanut butter. But if I had a light lunch then I will go home eat healthy dinner wait 1-1.5 then head to the gym and have a post workout snack or shake
