I have to do some of my workouts at 4:30 am to get to work on time. Of course no adult has time in their busy lives. Who else does crazy early a.m workouts?

    4:40 am - This fall will probably be 4:15 to 4:30 ish.

    I try to squeeze it in at night but usually doesn't work that way.

    I need to be out the door by 8:30am in the mornings and I've tried even waking up at 7am to do my work outs and it just isn't gonna happen. Don't know how you people do it!

    4:45am for me. I get up, stagger out of bed, do a couple stretches, and walk my dog for about 45 minutes. Nuthin' wakes me up like picking up dog poop at 5am :)

    I have to be at work @7am, and have a thirty five minute drive. I've been getting up at 4:30am to get to the gym and working out by 5:45am or so. I then work out until 6:40am, then take my shower and get to work. I'm hoping to work back to 4:15am, then 4am at some point.

    I get up during the week around 4:30am, workout for 30 min-1 hour (depending on a variety of factors).

    It was tough the first couple weeks but you eventually adjust to it. Love how a good workout in the AM makes me feel for the rest of the day. :)

    I'm up at 4:30 to run four or five miles. I love getting it out of the way in case something comes up later in the day.

    I'm amazed by this! I can't get myself out of bed that early. Every time I try for early morning workouts (even 7 am is early for me), I end up cranky, tired and starving all day. More power to all of you for being able to get yourself going this early.
