I am currently getting up at 4:00 am. I have to catch a 6:30 train, so that gives me time to work out, shower and get out the door. I have been doing Chalean Extreme and have plenty of time since most workouts are less than 45 min. Now I think I want to do another round of P90X and each of those are about 55 minutes. I hate the thought that I might have to get up at 3:45!

Anyone else workout at a ridiculous hour? :ohwell:

    I never thought I would get up at 4. Now I'm considering 3:45.

    My favourite time of day for running is around 5:00AM. Cooler temperatures, almost no traffic to contend with - just a great way to start the day.

    Well, my work hours are from 9am-6pm, so I don't have to get up extremly early. I'm usually started around 6:30 or so.

    I'm up at 5:30, this is the only time to myself. When I get home from work I'm busy with the kids maybe a little cleaning or cooking depending on my man's day.

    I exercise shortly after whenever I get up- I'm on summer break right now so I have pretty much all the time in the world to sleep.
    When I'm back at school, during Fall quarter I'm going to have 2 days where I have no classes at all (and 8am classes the rest of the week). I plan on getting up at around 8 to keep myself semi-regular, walk to the on-campus gym, and work out.

    Just started early morning runs & workouts this week - for me to be able to shower and be presentable in time for an 8:00 start at work I have to get up at 5:20. I adore running and yoga in the mornings - stopped because my new job starts an hour earlier than my last one. It's going to take some getting used to...I absolutely could not do earlier than 5:00 oh my gosh.

    I am up at 3:20am, get my daily chores done, fix the day's food and put it in the cooler I carry in truck and am out the door at about 5am to drive to a nature preserve called Deer Island which is about a five minute drive from my office. Do the loop trail through the preserve twice doing a walk/jog combo and get four miles of trail hiking in before 7am. Then it is off to the office to use the shower in the men's room and get into fresh clothes. Great way to start the day, hanging out with the deer, hawks, wild turkeys and what not.

    8pm, haha. :) I can't exercise in the morning due to a severe opposition to doing anything before work. I've always been into doing things in the evenings, though, so it works.

    My alarm is set for 5am but anything that happens after that is dependent on how tired I am : ). I would love to exercise twice per day (you know, get my metabolism racing morning and evening) but after work all I want to do is take a shower and relax. I just stick to early mornings because that's when I have more energy anyway.

    How far away is your gym?

    I feel so lazy compared to all the 4am starts here =/ I usually exercise around midday and then take my dog straight out for a walk. I'm often up late studying since I find it easier to study then so don't get out of bed till 9ish.

    5:00 am - starting the day with a brisk hour hike or run with my dog, no one around town and birds are chirping ... very Zen like!

    When my gym's lap pool is open and I'm doing morning swims and runs - yea, about 4:30am. I live about an hour from work/gym, so that gives me time to eat, pack my bag and get out the door to be at the gym by 6am.

    I don't set an alarm to get up and exercise - it's more of, I have to be up by 7:30 to get ready for work. If I wake up by 6:30 (with no alarm), I'll roll my butt outta bed and go for a morning jog until I hear my alarm go off on my phone telling me I need to head back to the house.
