    I usually work out in the mornings, 3-5 times a week around 6'ish. I find I need about a 1/2 hour to wake up and have a cup of tea before I am ready to work out. Do you work out immediately after getting up? I can do that, but find my performance is not as great if I don't give myself that buffer.

    I'm normally up at 4:30 M-F to hit the gym. I either sleep in a little or take a rest day on the weekend.

    I am up at 4:30 and start training in the pool at 5. I love it! My life is busy and that is the only way I can get in 2 hours of training a day.

    I work at 5 AM so on my days off, I still get up at 4 and hit the gym. For my work days, it depends if I manage to fall asleep early enough because I have to get up at 2:30 to have time to work out and shower before work. Usually I'll just wait until I'm done.

    My biggest thing is, I HAVE To do it before I sit down or the lazy sets in.

    During the week I am up by 4:30, leave the house before 5, get to gym about 5:45 to start the workout. Unfortunately I have to drive 45 minutes to the gym near my job...more convenient.

    I usually get up at 5, have coffee and a piece of toast and do 30DS before getting ready for work. I have 2 kids that are pretty self sufficient as far as getting ready (5 and 8). I then walk or run on my lunch hour. By the time I get home at 5:30 there is little time with homework, dinner, etc.
    Gotta do it when you can.

    I do workout on an empty stomach, that in itself is a huge debate topic..lol It works for me, I log 45 mins of cardio, I have half a protein shake, then I hit my weight segment with my coach, usually 75 minutes then finish off with 30 minutes of swimming laps or rowing.
