    I've done early morning and after work lately just depends on the day. I would like to try and get in the routine of early morning now that the kids go back to school tomorrow. I like to be home when they get home. Have a great job where I get off at 3:30.

    I run outside so with temperatures right now and my normal energy habits, I like to get my runs in before noon most days. Ideally I'd like to wake up at 7 and go but normally it's more like 9:30-10 before I'm out the door. Running in the evenings during summer is not fun and I don't do it. LOL

    When the seasons change over I'll probably widen my exercise window since the temps won't be as high throughout the day.

    Glycogen burnt means fat not burnt. Dummies. x

    Dummies? Classy!

    And where does glycogen get replenished from? Fat reserves or from your food.
    Net calorie balance is the key, don't try and over complicate something with bro science.

    Thats the whole point; it comes from food not fat. And keep your advice to yourself, Bro.

    maybe you should keep your insults to yourself

    as for OP, the best time to exercise is when you know you will actually do it. i tried waking up in the morning to exercise but i am not a morning person or even close, so that never worked out very well. i plan my exercise now for when i know i will have time/energy. it just takes a little practice to figure out what works best for you.

    Whenever you are most likely to actually do it.

    I'm not a morning person, but if I plan to work out after work, I will spend the whole day coming up with great reasons I should skip the gym. Thus, I get up in the morning and get it over with. But, I will say it has been a years-long process to become a regular morning exerciser.

    My husband likes to do a short workout first thing in the morning and another short workout as soon as he gets home from work.

    Different strokes.

    Depends on the person. Me personally in the morning. Feels more energetic the rest of the day
