What time of day do you work out?

For the past year & a half, I've been working out right after school/work lets out, starting around 3:45/4pm.

Now I'm stuck at work til 5:30 pretty much every night with drama club rehearsals...I'd hate to kill my night at the gym, even if it is good for me and keeps me sane.

So I'm considering doing the ultra early morning workout. DH does it and has been for years now. I'm NOT a morning person- at least when it comes to the alarm waking me up. Personally I would rather workout in the morning- just around 9am.

My problem is work is a half hour away and I have to be there at 8am...so that means waking up, driving a half hour to the town that I work in, go to the gym there and shower/get ready for work after my workout. Not crazy about that idea. Then I think, if I eat breakfast that early I'll be STARVED by 10am!!!

So...when do you work out?

And if you're an early bird- HOW do you do it???

Please share your schedules! Thanks!

I pack my gym bag every night and then i workout after tutoring. I usually get to the gym around 5:30 or 6pm

Mornings. Anytime I say I'll work out in the evening it never happens!

Re: What time of day do you work out?

i work 9- 5:30 most days, unless i am at a client. i try to work out to 2 to 3 nights a week. i work out at 7pm if i go to a class or 6:30 if i just do the machines. i ususally eat popcorn at around 4:30 which helps me get through till dinner at 8.

Re: What time of day do you work out?

I get to the gym at 4pm. And I eat just about every 2 - 3 hours, so I'm not hungry at all.

Re: What time of day do you work out?

I do my workout right after work. Since I work til 3, I go home, change & start my routine. I am done by the time my DH gets home

Re: What time of day do you work out?

usually around 5pm after work

Re: What time of day do you work out?

Depending on the week ...I go at 6:30am or I go after work at 430-5. I prefer the mornings but my running team meets in the evening so it changes a bit.

I eat an afternoon snack so I am not hungry. Usually something with a good amount of protein. I don't eat before a morning workout...too early!

Re: What time of day do you work out?

i go to the gym after work, around 6:30. it is late but i eat a late breakfast and lunch (10 am and 2 pm). my body is used to not eating dinner until 8 pm. if i was VERY hungry before a workout, i will eat a granola bar to hold me over. but honestly, once i get to the gym and start working out, my appetite is gone.

i am NOT a morning person in the least so this schedule works best for me right now.

Re: What time of day do you work out?

I work out late at night, usually get to the gym at 9:30 pm

Re: What time of day do you work out?

either between 6 and 7 AM, or 8 and 10 PM. On the weekends I get there whenever.

Re: What time of day do you work out?

In the mid-afternoon while the kids nap, or even after they go to bed. I know doing it so late is not good at times, but its that or nothing.

Re: What time of day do you work out?

I usually get to the gym by 3:45ish. I would not like going before work either!

Re: What time of day do you work out?

I go at night during the week and most Saturday mornings. Would love to go and get it over with in the morning but I cannot get up early.
