Anyone here workout at night/after dinner? I just cannot bring myself to get up at 4:45 to do my 30 minute work out. I'd love to eventually get there. So I do mine after dinner, about an hour after. I know anytime you do a workout is better than none. Anyone else out there like me?

    Not quite like you- I work out after work but before dinner. I just can't get it together in the morning. Before I started working out, when I was just kind of thinking about it, I was afraid that I would find too many excuses at the end of the work day but after a few weeks I realized hitting the gym wasn't just one more thing to fit into my hectic day; it had become my reward!

    I work out in the late afternoon or evening after supper. I have more energy then and get a better workout.

    I would do anything to get out of a morning workout, but evenings don't usually work for me. Sometimes if the weather is nice and I don't have other engagements (not often) I'll try to squeeze in a bike ride. I usually work out at lunchtime.

    My wife and I work out after dinner (usually eat around 5:15-5:30). We'll workout around 6:15-6:30. Weights are about 45 minutes and then we'll walk for another 30 +- minutes. If we have evening plans we'll occasionally workout in the am, but definitely not as much energy then as our evening workouts. Works well for us.

    I work out late, knowing that soon after it'll be bedtime and the start of the recovery period. The only thing I do in the morning is fasted cardio, to begin my burn.

    Not a morning person, I am a night-owl by nature and love to work out at night. I use to work out from 10-11ish, but now work out from 7-8ish.

    I very much value my extra bit of sleep in the morning. I'm definitely a post-work snack, pre-dinner evening workout person. I usually end up eating dinner around 8 or 9pm, but that works just fine for me.

    I do mine in the evenings. Mornings are too hectic with getting my kids ready for school, so I do it after they go to bed. I like to hit the gym by 8:30 pm.

    I used to work out at 9 PM- now I lift 5-7 PM and I run in the AM. Gotta do what you gotta do to make it work- there is now "right time" to work out. just what works for you!

    Yep I do. I have a spin class that meets at 7pm. Sometimes it is hard to go after sitting at home for hours. I get off from work at 3pm. I would rather sleep in the am!!!

    I can only hit the gym after 8:30pm. Kids are in bed at 8, I'm out the door at 8:30 until around 9:30/10.

    There are always plenty of lifters in the gym compared to cardio peeps in the later evening. Past 9pm.
    Do whatw works for you. Im not a morning person, but id love to just get it out of the way sometimes. I appreciate my gym for being 24 hours and close by, because I can just keep going back.

    I work out about an hour after dinner. When I tried to do the morning thing, I just never worked out. Can't get up any earlier than I have to! I'm naturally a night person so it just works better for me.

    I hate morning workouts! I usually work out after work and before dinner, but I have no problem working out after dinner if necessary. The only time I work out early in the morning is when I'm forced to for a race LOL.
