    I workout before bed. The cons is sometimes it is hard for me to fall asleep, the pro is after a good work out it drains me so I fall asleep easier. I'm not a "morning" person so at night works better for me.

    Very individual thing. I actually do better with exercise at night in terms of not having it disturb my sleep and being energetic for the workout. Unfortunately I usually have to do it in the morning or time will get away from me and I don't get around to it. Go by your own body's preference as well as which time works best to make sure you get that workout in.

    For me, it depends on what I do. Most of the time, I do some relaxing yoga before bed, so I can sleep. It's helped me. If I do cardio, it seems to make me more awake.

    Depends on your body. My "bestest" time is right after work, but that rarely happens! Right before bed is better than nothing. Of course, I say this because I can work out right before bed and fall right asleep. People tell me best time is first thing in the morning, but I find that I'm so stiff I don't perform as well as if I wait til later in the day.

    I always exercise around 8-9 at night, even though today i'm just about to exercise so pretty late. I'm not a morning person and i don't mind the burst of energy after exercise since i go to sleep pretty late anyway.
