What is your workout & work schedule?

Wake up at 6:15 am

Gym from 6:45 to 7:20 am

Work from 8:30- 5 pm

I teach school so I get up at 5:30am to get ready for work - no way I'd get up earlier than that for a workout! The nice thing though is that I leave work at 4pm and my husband and I go workout together from 4:30 to 5:30pm. We keep each other motivated! Fortunately we don't have kids to come home to... From 5:30pm onward we have plenty of time to make dinner, clean, watch a movie, or whatever. It's a pretty sweet deal .

The biggest thing for me is having someone else (my hubby) rely on me. Then I HAVE to go workout

Up at 4:30 a.m. Work 5:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. (Convenience Store manager) Workout time is always in the evening, usually somewhere between 6:00 and 8:30 depending on my wife's schedule and participation.

I work FT with 2 kids - I start work at 7.20am No time for a workout in the morning

8.30pm on wards is when I train, every night no excuse. I make this my hour of power! I see it like this, I do this for me I am not doing this for anyone else, I like me, I don't want to let myself down and No one else is going to do this for me..

I also find an event to train for - I signed up for a 10km yesterday - I torn my ankle 18 weeks ago which threw my plans out for a half. Anyway I signed up for a smaller run instead - this keeps me focused. I know I need to train for this so therefore it motivates me.

Also if you are going to workout in the morning some secrets others do
- Sleep in their workout gear
- Have the stuff by the bed and as soon as the alarm goes, get up and do it

Good luck! It's all a journey

What a happy and positive post!!! Awesome work

Do you have work out gear at home, or someone to sit the kids while you go to the gym - thats my prob... no one else is around to look after the little ones, so I have to stay home. Can't wait to get my ex-bike, I already have a swiss ball and dumbells.

Thanks! I bought stuff - I have a shed and I figure I have no excuse! I have a Treddie, Elliptical (which someone gave me for free) and weights bench, squat rack, basic lat station...and about 100kgs of free weights

I love to train, Lifes so short not to be your best self....I just want to keep going and live as best I can...

Feel free to add me as a friend

I have two 15 minute breaks at work and I usually get in a brisk 1.1 mile walk in the each 15 minute period. I usually run a couple of miles during my hour lunch either on the treadmill our outside with my husband. I try to get in my little "mini challenges" at night after the kids go to bed. I have three kids that are 7, 5 and almost 3 so I have to fit in little workouts whenever I can!

During the summer I work 7am-5pm Monday through Thursday as a caregiver for a mentally handicapped adult. The great part about that job is it keeps me active! He has to walk for at least 30 minutes every day or he can get sick so I always work out a little while working.

I go to the gym around 8pm and stay until about 9:30pm. I've tried early workouts - they don't work for me. I'm too sleepy. I also like the time to unwind. And my workout buddy doesn't like to work out until late.

During the school year my schedule will be a lot different.

I work long somewhat unpredictable hours so I mix it up -- I do best with classes where I commit to being there -- so 7 pm MON evening and 7 am Wed morning I spin with short pilates session afterwards which feels great. Tues am I do pilates mat class, and Fri am I do kettlebell class which is fun. 'Thurs am I walk with a friend. Then Sat I take off, and Sunday my husband and I do a hilly bike ride of 20 to 40 miles. I am really inspired by everyone on MFP. I also like to row my rowing shell, but that takes more time, cause I have to go down to the river, and take it from the racks to the river so I don't do it too often. It sure feels better to exercise now that I've lost part of my weight. When I exercise I feel so much more energy and peace of mind and it is easier to stay on my food plan. God bless the moms -- I remember how hard it was to exercise when my daughter was little. Now my daughter is grown up. We did a half marathon together before I hurt my knee. That is to say we started together, but she finished way, way, way ahead of me. We also did a sprint tri together. But then I stopped logging my food, and gained my weight back. Now I am logging on MFP, and getting inspired by you all, and it is my strongest intention and goal to log everyday for life, stay out of denial, and see this exercise and food plan as a way of life and not a diet. I've lost about 1/2 of my weight and my muscles are back, and for someone 58, I think I am very lucky to be on this journey.

I work 8:30-4:30 M-F, with an occasional Sat 9-4. I started the C25K app. I don't like to get up early as it is. So to avoid as much of this 100 degree heat as possible my plan is C25K M/W about 8:15pm. (as late as possible without being dark out) and Sat am by 9am to avoid the heat. Other days, I do Zumba at home. For 20 mins to an hour depending on what I ate that day, usually sometime between 7 & 8. I'm just getting motivated again, so this is what has worked so far for me.

I get up "late" according to some; I raise about 730 or 745a...I get to work at 9a.

I set my workout to 4 times a week for 60 minutes after work, but I end up working out 6-7 times per week for 60 minutes. My new schedule for the next six weeks will be:

Mon & Thurs: Zumba
Wed: OFF
Tues & Fri: Lifting and Deep Water Aerobic (off every other Fri)
Sat: Water aerobics
Sun: Lifting and water aerobics

I tend to lose track of time when I am swimming, but that is the beauty of working out in the water. :flowerforyou:

I wake up every morning at 5:00 to work out. I get to the gym at 5:30 and work out until 6:45. Home at 7:00. I used to have to shower, eat breakfast and be out by 8:00 to get to the office by 8:30.

In October I started working from home. I'm no longer rushed to shower and eat breakfast and save 30 minutes of commute time. I use this time to relax and catch up on the news.

On the flip side, sometimes I find myself working at 10:00 at night when I should be going to bed.
