    I work graveyards then come home and workout between around 9:30am-noon. I try to be back home showered and in bed for noon.

    I workout in the morning. If I don't get it out of the way, I will come up with every excuse in the book to avoid it after work.

    Between 7pm - 10pm after the kids have been fed, bathed, and bed. I'm definitely not a morning person.

    I generally like to work out in the morning, since it's when the Texas weather is most bearable and it gets it out of the way. However my work schedule is shifting next week, so I'll be coming in for a full-time shift but also get off early enough that I can run in the evenings.

    I do yoga through an iPad/iPhone app called YogaGlo. I complete specific programs, currently on a strength-building program, and these programs run for several weeks at a time where you schedule your classes (typically 3 classes per week). I like structure, so I always schedule mine for Sun/Tue/Thu in the mornings, and then Mon/Wed/Fri I go to the gym for an hour with my partner. Because his schedule varies, and we like to go together, evening gym time is less dependable than sticking to my morning home-practice yoga schedule.

    I prefer mornings, even if it's super early, because I find I have more energy to get through my day. When I work out in the evening, I always struggle to fall asleep.

    You guys inspired me I was up 5:45 this morning for a run before work. I swim or hike weekends but struggled to do weights and run during week lately.
    Thats some dedication getting up before 5 am :)
    I am not a morning person but if I stick with morning workouts at least I can have some family time and time to study after work.

    I workout in the morning. Typically 430-5am. I don't have any other "me" time the rest of the day so it works for me.

    If I'm working out during the week, then I work out twice a day, once during my lunch break from 1230-1330ish and then again from 1800 to about 1900. If it's the weekends, then it depends on the day and the sports season I'm in. I play rugby, women's tackle football and flag football, so my weekends in season usually consist of working out/playing with teammates.

    We have a rack/weights at home, so I lift with my husband 3 days a week in the evenings, but I'm at the gym most mornings by 5:00am - that's when I do my cardio. As for motivation, honestly, it's just a matter of putting your feet on the floor and doing it. After a few years, it's become habit. Go early, get it done, come home, begin the day getting kids ready, myself ready...work, etc. It just sets the tone for the day.

    I am a morning person, never need to set an alarm to get up at 5 am. ( OTH I have trouble staying up past 9 PM lol)

    I also live in the tropics right now so by 8 AM is far too hot for outside exercise.

    I work an 8am-4pm office job, so on weekdays I get my workout in at 5:30am.

    I highly suggest trying morning workouts if possible!!! It was an awful first week, but after that, It surprisingly gave me such a burst of energy throughout the day. I used to have to down 3 coffees a day to stay awake (awful habit I know) but now I am down to 1 steeped tea or 1 small coffee or sometimes even nothing!

    It's amazing :) hehe

    Usually in the morning around 6:45am, I start work in a week again and I will probably be getting up around 4:30 to workout to get it done for the day, it will be a rude awakening!

    I do both. I run in the mornings (because it's cool) 3 days a week and workout at the gym at night 6 days a week.

    We've done after work, but that was problematic. We'd come home to eat dinner and then head to gym... Which was busy as it's small and peak evening hours. Now we're going in the morning before work and I'm not finding a 5am wakeup call offensive if it means I get to relax in the evening. Plus, it's on the way to work anyway. No awkward backtracking.

    On weekdays, I walk the dog 4km, followed by 30 minutes of strength training and 30 minutes of yoga before I go to work. I also walk the dog 4km when I get home from work. Husband walks the dog on the weekend. I still do the strength training and yoga on Saturdays but usually don't walk though I do sometimes. Sunday is my rest day.
