Hey everyone,
May be this question has been asked already...
Do you have preference on time of the day for your workouts? do you see/feel the difference if you change from morning to evening or vice versa?
I would love if I could get in my workouts first thing in the morning...one day when I can wake up early enough for 30-40 mins. I think summer is should be easier but not for me :ohwell:

    I prefer first thing in the morning or life or excuses seem to get in my way.

    I do both...usually a longer workout in the morning and a short one in the evening!

    I totally agree, the last thing I want to do at the end of my day is workout.

    I wish I could work out in the morning - the snooze button seems to be my friend but I generally go to the gym right after work.

    I can't make myself get up in the am and actullay feel more tired after an am workout.
    I prefer working out at night. I actually look forward to it, especially if Im riding my bike :)

    evening.
    I have more energy.
    My body temp is higher which helps prevent injury
    And you're stronger in the evenings.


    Seriously.

    I used to prefer the mornings before going to work but now with two children under 3 I have to exercise when I have time, mostly at night time.:wink:

    I work out in the morning or in the afternoon ( i'm lucky enough to be a stay-at-home). If i work out at night I have a hard time getting to sleep because my body is so full of energy.

    It depends for me......On my work days, I work out in the evenings because I have to be at work early and get my daughter to daycare. In the evenings, my husband can watch our daughter while I workout. On my off days, I get up early (usually before my daughter gets up) and knock out my workout so I can have the rest of the day free.

    I just started waking up early to go to the gym in the mornings. I have to go before my kids wake up so my insomniac husband can get a little more sleep. I'm up at 6 and at the gym by 6:30. I haven't had any trouble getting up and I've had a lot more energy throughout the day. I have a protein shake as soon as I get home and then I have breakfast with my kids later. I had been going after the kids went to bed at night and I had some dinner, around 9 or 10. I wouldn't get home until about 11 and it made it a lot harder to get to sleep at night, even though I was really tired. My body was wide awake! It's a lot easier to go to bed a little earlier and get up in the morning.

    I've realized when I work out at night (which means after work for me) I feel very refreshed after the work out and it's like a boost to eat the right meal for dinner. The mornings also help me wake up and gives me a kick to get things done. So if you think you can and feel you have the time, do a brisk work out in the AM and finish up with a great workout in the evening :smile:
