would you say morning before work, straight after work or evening before dinner or evening after dinner??
I feel like I work out before dinner does me nothing as I get full up with dinner and if I do it after I'm too tired

Whatever time works best for you. There isn't a golden hour of exercise.0

Whenever you can make yourself. When I'm really busy I do it at night because that's the only time I have. It's very hard to make yourself get up and exercise after a full day, but I make fitness a priority, so I do it.0

I start work early so struggle to get up even earlier and by the evening time comes in shattered0

I have TRIED to get up super early to work out, and I can't do it. The few times I did, I was in such a pissy mood for the rest of the day that everyone agreed it wasn't worth it, lol. I find that exercises that are in a class setting are best for after work hours. I can motivate myself easier if following someone else's lead. It's a lot harder if I'm working out at home.0

whenever you feel like it and can do your best work. There is no "best" time.0

Sometimes I don't feel like working out but after I do workout I feel great0

Definitely whatever works for you and your schedule. I used to have a different job and would exercise right after work, before dinner. I wouldn't be as hungry after exercising so I would eat less after. Since switching jobs, I get home at 9pm. There is NO WAY that I am going to work out and then have dinner at 10/11pm. Now I get up early and do it before work. So it really is up to how you can fit it in.0

I'm going to try and get up before work at 4 am and then work out, it will be hard as I need to motivate myself and that's hard0 -
Best time to exercise??
3.22 pm any other time and your just wasting your time.0 -
It's best to lift weights at 11:20am but only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. It's best to do cardio between 5:30pm and 7:30pm in the evening.0

For me I go for my run during my lunch hour at work, work in a college town nice parks with nice walking/running/biking paths. Sometimes I will hit the gym on my way home after work. But realistically anytime you can work it in your schedule.0

I've just started running on my lunch last week so hope that helps too0 -

For me 5am as then I don't have all day to make excuses. As others have said what ever fits around your life0

An early workout makes me feel energized all day. In the evening I prefer the buddy system where I meet up with a friend for a walk or take a class. When I roll solo, I tend to work out very late if it's the gym - when it's less crowded.0
-
I once tried to work out at 4.55 but something didn't feel right. I left it five minutes and had the best work out of my life. True Story.0
-
I do it first thing in the morning before the rest of the day gets in the way. That way I know it is done and nothing is going to stop me like 'Life'. Lol0

People's schedules differ so much, you just have to pick YOUR best time, and have some fun with it.
