What time do you work out and why???

I workout after work. I can't get up in the morning before work...Weekends when I get out of bed, which is pretty early!

4:15 am because that is the only time I can fit it in and I won't do it if I don't do it first thing.

5:30 AM because I also have kids and work full time. It's either then or never

I have to workout at night after my daughter goes to bed, but sometime I exercise before she goes to bed if someone will watch her for me.

I am not a morning person either...lol! I usually workout after work, if I decide I want to go to the gym, or after everyone has settled in for the night. Last night I was doing Wii Zumba Fitness at 9:00! I have a six year old daughter and my husband leaves for work at 5:30 every morning. So if I want to work out in the morning I would have to do it before he leaves. For me that is impossible. Good luck with what works best for you!

I'm a stay at home mom too, and my husband works 10 hour days as well, and I exercise in the evening after he gets home. I get dinner on the table, get the kids situated and eating, make sure I eat my dinner, my husband comes home and I go to the gym. He does baths and bedtime routine, and I usually get home just in time to kiss them goodnight and have some chill out time with my husband.

Reading that back, I realized how lucky I am to have him. He's very supportive. I of course would prefer to have a family dinner, but I had to re-prioritize and I need my workout time more than family dinner at this point.

I used to wake up at 4am to exercise, and I was tired and mean all day and had to go to bed around 7pm, so I never got ANY time with my husband at all. This schedule works much better for us.

I work out in the evening, around 6ish. I am not a morning person and I have discovered if I work out in the morning I am sick all day. On the weekends I exercise in the afternoon and evening.

Do it first thing in the morning at 5:30. I have to do it before my 2 yr old gets up or it won't get done. Especially since she doesn't really nap!

Dayshift Im up at 3am to train before work.
Nightshift I train straight after work at 6:30am
Days off I get up at 5am to train.

So Im a morning person but Im going to step it up by doing something in the arvo.

I wake up at 4am to eat a lil snack, than go back to sleep, than wake up at 5am to walk 3 miles which takes me about an hour plus warm up and cool down. and Honey I have to tell you, You feel energyze for the rest of the day. Good Luck to you and what you might want to try because you have small children is to get a DVD from Leslie Sansone walk at home.... (that's what I do) It is a WORK OUT!!!!! am sore half the time. and I do it while my kids are still asleep.

I work out in the morning (I converted from working out at lunch). My primary reason is that working out at 5:30 a.m. means no distractions, no interruptions (work, phone calls, appointments), and less folks in the gym. It gives me the energy I need to get through the day and I seem to have loss more weight as a result of the change in workout time.

Morning workouts voided most of my excuses for not going to the gym.

I bike to work some days and walk/run every lunch time through the week. I normally gym at 6.30 am on a Friday as I don't work then, and at 8am on Sundays.
If it all goes wrong I try and walk/do a workout dvd every day!

In the past, I've worked out in the afternoon/early evening. I had tried mornings, but had a hard time in getting up in time.

Now, even though I'm still not a morning person, I tend to wake up around 5 or 6. So, I've decided to try a.m workouts again. I've been at this for 5 days, and already I feel better and more energized, but I'm not getting a restful sleep at night. I would rather have that energy during the day, and be able to sleep well at night --- which means, I can get up early enough to workout the a.m (I hope).

I guess we'll see how it goes!

During the week, if dog walking, early evening before their dinner when my Partner gets home to look after Son. Any other exercise is when ever there is a class on in the evening.

At Weekends, early afternoon so I can take the dogs over the fields for some off-lead.

Not a morning person and I have to be at work by 8:00am but I'll be taking over the morning dog walk soon - well, as soon as I can drag myself out of bed by six AM. Nearly made it this morning!!!!

No choice but to work out after work around 5pm. I live about 1.5 hours from home, so I already get up really early to make it to work on time, and then I stop at the gym on the way home and usually don't get home till 8 or so.. so it's long days for me.
