morning or evening workout

Just curious if you prefer morning or evening workouts

I think it just depends on individual available time. I am NOT a morning person and cant seem to just jump out of bed and begin exercising. I workout between 1 and 3pm for 1 hr 5X per week. I don't have designated off days, just use random days that I need to be doing other obligations as off days. For me . . . my evenings are temptation times, so having worked out in the afternoon, it is still VERY fresh in my mind how hard it was to achieve those 400 calories lost in a work out . . . I am very less likely to over eat.

It's an individual thing. I remember asking a co-worker who was studying to be a personal trainer at the time, 'what time is best to workout?' and his response was 'Whenever you have the time. It doesn't really matter WHEN you workout as long as you WORKOUT.'

Different times work for different people. My mother will work out in the morning right when I get home(I work night shift). I work out right before she serves dinner when I wake up at about 5-6pm. Plus I spend all night walking on foot patrol.

If I worked day shift, I imagine we would be running buddies. But for the time being, I work nights. $:\$
