Do you find it easier to workout in the morning or evening? Any benefits to either?

    I like going after work, it's a great stress reliever from the day. And, because I'd rather take a fork in the eye than get up that early. :) It doesn't really matter what time of day you go, as long as you go and do it.

    Thanks a lot! I usually do it after work. I was wondering if the morning gave you like a jump start

    I do it after work too, and I worked afternoons so I am there sometimes at 1am. I like it as a stress reliever as well and surprising it helps me go to bed at a decent time.

    No, there isn't a meaningful difference as far as when is better. If you're more apt to push yourself harder one time that the other, then that's better, but "better" a function of your intensity, not the time off day.

    Personally, morning workouts are better for me.

    I go before work because I work evening shift. I like that because I'm fresh for the workout. I walk at least 8mi a day at work, up & down ramps, moving equipment, etc. So its essential that I get my protein intake before work to start my recovery or its hard to be productive for the 8hr at work lol. But its all really personal preference.

    Thank you for all your responses. I guess it doesnt matter when only that you get it done. I'll continue doing it at night

    It depends on the season. This time of the year I do most of my workouts after work. In the summer when the days are longer I split it up and do some before work and some after.

    I like to get it out of the way in the morning but I can only do that on the weekends because I work through out the week.
