When I was in my 20s, working out was how I started my day. Now that I'm in my mind 30's, I tend to work out at the very end of my day. So when do you find time to workout?

    Used to be 5:30am but current gym doesn't open until 6.

    Very rarely I'll wake up between 3:30&4 and run 20-30 minutes after that. Those are my best days.



    ....then I stay out until 2am following Friday and Saturday nights. :/

    Even if my alarm goes off at 3:30, I don't officially wake up until at least 7:00 am. Snooze buttons are my friend.

    Evening has always been my choice.

    Firstly, I can never be accused of being awake in the morning. I've literally fallen off my Nordic Track cuz I must have fallen asleep while skiing.

    Second, inner city living, working my life around traffic & commuting, night time fits that awful schedule, too. At times it's been tough as my energy is ramped at night & I'm calling people at 10pm to see if they want to go out for a drink. Nope.

    Still, I'm a night owl. Late workouts fit my inner time clock.

    I leave home at 9 to miss the heavy morning traffic and work-out from 9AM to 10 AM.

    I prefer morning for treadmill/cardio...but for strength training or yoga, I prefer the evening.

    Before I retired it was after work, around 4:30pm. Now that I'm retired, it's more the 11:00am to 1:00pm timeframe.

    In the early morning, 5 am to be exact.

    Back in april/may my brother and I started running after being inactive our entire lives (except for the PE classes in school). We decided to keep it in the early mornings to 1. avoid people seeing us struggle, and 2. to avoid the worst heat when summer came around.

    Now it's winter and not that nice to run anymore (cold, wet, icy roads, would like to get a treadmill eventually), so we've moved the exercises indoors with cardio and strength training, but we're sticking to 5 am since that time seems to work well. It's nice to have it all done before the day even starts.

    Anywhere from 7-9pm. My workouts are typically around 2 hrs. So if I get there at 9 I'm not stopping til around 11. I'm a night owl too and can't get up early. I like to sleep as long as I can in the mornings.

    In the afternoon, or evening when needing to go to work and feeling up to exercise a bit more.

    0430. Best time for me. Sometimes at 1200 this time of year depending on how the roads are that early.

    I do, too. But, my bosses have always found that a bone of contention. :smile:
