    I've always worked out after work (around 5:30 pm) but am starting to think that I should take advantage of the gyms we have onsite where I work and workout during the day. I tired it yesterday around 2:00 pm (counted as my lunch hour) and it was great to get it done during the day and get away from the desk! The only problem was that I didn't want to take any more time to shower and I felt sweaty the rest of the day.

    I usually exercise after work in the evenings on weekdays, and late morning or early afternoon on weekends. I'm just not a morning person and I just don't fight it anymore lol.

    On a perfect day, I exercise all the time! Yesterday was a perfect day.

    1. I did 35 minutes of circuit training in the comfort of my home before getting ready for work.

    2. At lunch I walked a brisk 45 minutes. In fact, I walked to a local market, picked up some fruit and veggies and carried it back with me (burned more calories that way)!!!

    3. Afterwork, I swam for 35 minutes at the YMCA.

    4. Once home, I exercised by preparing food for an hour.

    I take the stairs when I can. I park far way to get more of a walk in. When I'm walking in the mall shopping, I try to walk fast. Sometimes, I do 10 squats when I go to the bathroom. The more you move, the more you lose. The more you move, the better shape you become, the better you feel.

    Some days I am traveling or working long hours and all I can do is run up and down the stairs in my office building. On weekends, I try to get more exercise in. In the back of my mind 30 minutes of exercise is the minimum, 60 is the goal, and more than that is a home run. I admit I'm a little obsesive these days, but I've been at this about 6 months and am feeling better and better. I LOVE FEELING ABLE BODIED AND FIT!!!

    WoW ! that's amazing :)

    I don't..........maybe that's my problem, hmmm? lol.
    I try to walk as much as possible.............but I have so little motivation towards exercise.

    Maybe someday - I AM losing weight, though :)

    At the moment I am exercising whenever I want as I am a teacher on a 6 week summer break!

    I am dreading going back to work in a week or two as I will have to start planning when I will be able to exercise again- which will most likely be back to three times a week, twice in the week (eve) , once at the weekend.

    Right after I get off work. I know if I go home before working out, then I'm there to stay.

    I'm up every weekday morning at 4:30 to do my cardio for the day. Then I usually either take a yoga class or do 30DS in the evening after dinner. On the weekends, my hubby and I are up early every Saturday to hike and usually take a bit of a rest on Sunday.

    evening, i am just not a morning person at all!

    ME TOO! If I only tried in the morning it would just never happen. I have to go right after work. Only down side is that I end up eating dinner much later than I should, but because it's so late I limit my carbs.

    At night. I work second shift, so I usually go after work (and I go late even on the days when I don't work). I'm not a morning person - at all. I have more energy at night, plus I like that the gym is usually quite empty by the time I get there at 11:30pm or midnight. :)

    Work week - 90% of the time it's at night
    Weekends - usually mid-day

    Mornings are way too hectic with 3 kids (1 in school and 2 under the age of 3) and getting myself ready for work. It's almost impossible unless I get my butt up at 5am (which isn't happening).

    I do a lot of walking throughout the day getting to where I need to go since I live in the city and take the bus. When I am specifically looking to "work out" I go either after work or at night after dinner. :happy:

    I am trying to exercise 30 min in the morning before work and then 30-40 min on my lunch break. Total of 1 hr each day. I know I need more but during the week its all I can do.
