    I am up at 5.30am to 6am everyday anyway so I get my little boy up (if he's awake) and get him organized with a bottle and something to play with, then I get organized, and I'm usually finished my work out by 7am then shower then my partner gets up lol. I can't be bothered working out after work I don't usually get home until 11.30(ish) pm so I just shower and bed =D sometimes I can fit in a nap during the day before work.

    I set my alarm for 5.15am and im out running by 5.30.

    I find that running in the morning keeps my pace up. When running through the woods, in the dark... You dont hang around!!

    For other workouts.. kettlebell/gym/swim/whatever I fit it in as and when.

    I was thinking that would be a great time too!

    mid afternoon. If I had to exercise in the morning it would have to be 3am.

    it depends. When i'm off, I like to workout in the mornings, but otherwise I only have time to do it in the afternoons, around 4pm.

    I wish I was a morning person, because I always want to exercise then.... but then the morning comes, and I take the extra hour of sleep instead.

    So I force myself to go later.

    When I work day shifts --- I either do nothing (as I'm running around on my feet for 12 hours), or do a quick run when I get home.
    When I work nights --- I run in the morning, before I go to bed.

    When I don't work --- I run around 6pm.

    I have no MOTIVATION to work out in the a.m., I work out in the evening like 5:00 p.m. or right before bed at 9:00 p.m.

    I get my exercise done around 4:30pm after I pick up my kids and get home from work. I usually will get dinner started and do my workout while dinner cooks and while my kids are getting their homework done.

    I go around noon, then I get a nice walk in the few hours of sunlight we have.
