    at about 8pm.. It's when it's busy, but not too busy, and all the douche bags have left, yet people that are serious about gym are still there.

    Depends on the workout. I lift weights after getting off of work, so about 7:30 in the morning (I work third shift). I run after waking up about 2 hours after breakfast, so usually around 5 or 6 in the evening.

    Depends on what shift I'm working. My workout days are Monday-Thursday mandatory, and optional Friday.
    If I'm working 12pm or later I'll go in the morning, or if I start before noon I'll go about 6-7pm. If I'm not working at all I'll go about 2pm.
    I find my work out is much easier if I go later on in the day, but sometimes it just makes sense to go earlier. I do love finishing work and just being able to come home and not have to worry about needing to go to the gym!

    I usually run from 9-11am. If I'm running 2x a day it will be 8am, then 5pm. As long as there's at least 8hrs between runs.

    Currently between jobs, do S&F first thing Mon, Weds, Fri (after breakfast) usually. Try to do some form of cardio Tue &'Thurs, time varies depending on if I'm cardioing with the boyfriend I'd not.
    When I get a job, perhaps I'll switch to evenings, though I prefer mornings,

    Up between 4-430am almost every day. Weekends may sleep in till about 5-530am. Need to get the workout in before everyone wakes up otherwise it doesn't get done. :) Ah, the joys of parenthood.

    I'm pretty busy so I try to fit them in where I can. I usually get in 5x 10 minute mini workouts every day.

    I've also been known to weight lift with a frozen leg of lamb when I'm at work XD I'm a chef by the way ... not that it makes what I do less weird :P

    I've been doing FitnessBlender.com videos during while the kids have their nap time and it's been working out very well. Either that or I go running after dinner when my husband is home.

    I just started working out every Mon, Wed, & Fri morning @ 5 AM I take 2 classes Body Combat & Kettle Bell. I like doing my cardio before work. I do weigh training on Tues & Thurs after work. this seems to work for me. I posted a picture of the calories burned this morning after doing the 2 classes :)

    Not sure why the picture didn't format correctly I'll try to post it again. If the full image doesn't come up again it's 1,663 calories burned in 1 hour & 24 minutes.

    I workout at night. I like to try to get it done by 9:30, so it depends if I just do a 30 min workout or 2 30 min workouts (2 difference videos). Wednesday and Fridays are forced rest days as I don't get home from my activities for those days until nearly 10pm. I don't want to be working out after that time as I am in an apartment and I have roommates and people below me to take into consideration. Sundays I also get home later from church, but provided I use my time wisely, I should be able to get at least one 30 min workout in. (I need to start using my time more wisely so I can get that workout in!)

    Once the weather improves and the snow is FINALLY gone (not looking hopeful right now) I do plan on trying to get up 30 minutes earlier, to catch and earlier bus to work, only take it 3/4 of the way to work and then walk the rest of the way. (It would take about 2 hours to walk all the way to work. Where I plan to get off and start walking the rest of the way takes 30 minutes)

    During the week 5am before work. On the weekends... it's more like when I get there, I get there :)

    Right after work! 4:30pm

    And on weekends usually around noon, when my energy level is highest :)
