Do you always work out at the same time?

In other words, do you keep a consistent workout schedule? If so, what time of day do you like to work out?

This week, I have been working out between 10 PM and 11 PM. I found that I'm always hungry after and I end up eating a ton more food than I should! I'm wondering if I'm better off working out in the morning because then I still have my meals that I'm SUPPOSED to eat.

    I usually don't have a consistent schedule because I don't sleep well at night. That affects my patterns for the next day.

    I work out most times a 6 am in the morning and at 8-9 pm after getting home from work. Maybe you could try pushing your workout window back a little? Or are you eating lesser during the day than required?

    I definitely try to work out either after work so before dinner OR Sat & Sun mornings! The gym is really quiet and I can concentrate without people waiting behind me! I try to go every other day (I was on vacation very recently and I am trying to get back into the swing of things.)

    -walk with my daughter everyday at least 15 mins
    -yoga on Tuesdays at 10
    -Every other day weights and elliptical at the gym for and hour and a half.

    Good Luck :D on your fitness goals!!

    Yep. If my schedule becomes too variable, I end up moving myself, and the gym further and further down the to-do list. This is a personal weakness of mine, meh :ohwell:

    To this end, I go to the gym every other day at about 4pm. So far, it's been working well. I find predictability most comfy :laugh:

    Thanks for the great responses, everyone! This is very helpful. I think having a schedule is the easiest way to make working out a second-nature habit. I'm going to start figuring out certain times that work for me and I'm going to stick with it.
