exercising in the am or pm
which one is better for you? I've been jogging for 3wks and I usually go after dinner sometimes before, but I have heard that the am is better but I just can't get up any earlier then I do. Do you think it really matters?

Re: exercising in the am or pm
whichever time that gets you out to do it is best.
I have always liked mornings. it's quiet, you get it out of the way and you feel great the whole day. But now with kids, it's not that easy. I will wait for DH to come home, so that he can watch the kids and I don't have to go with the stroller. If that means 7 pm - so be it...It's not so bad, b/c there are more sprinklers going at that time and I wet my hat every time I go by.

Re: exercising in the am or pm
See if I went in the am I wold be able to go by myself because NONE of my children wake before 7:30am and my dh is home but that means I would have to get up at 6 or a little after and for some reason if I get up before 7 I'm a cranky pants. But by going at night I usually have to take my kids with me in the jogger because dh's work sched is all over the place. Well I guess maybe when school starts in Sept (for my oldest) I'll try the whole am thing. I have heard if you exercise in the am you do feel better throughout the day. We'll see

Re: exercising in the am or pm
I really don't think it matters. I think that it's just important that you work it into your day whenever you think you'll be most likely to stick to it.
Having said that, my times vary depending on what I am doing.

Re: exercising in the am or pm
I dont think it matters much biologically.
Psychologically, however, I think the AM is alot easier because it becomes part of your routine. I found it was MUCH easier to talk myself out of a lunchtime or nighttime workout, so I just wouldnt do it

Re: exercising in the am or pm
Since I'm off this summer, I've been exercising in the am - I like it a lot better - I get it over with and then I can go about the rest of my day feeling good and not having it hanging over my head.
Unfortunately, once the school year starts again, there's no way I can do it in the am - I am not a morning person and high school starts early! I have to be at school by 7:15 am so not happening. It just stinks because I am so exhausted at the end of my work day that a lot of times I end up not going - really going to have to push myself this year!

Re: exercising in the am or pm
I love exercising in the morning but can never drag myself out of bed.  
Like Azad said I don't think it matters as long as you are doing it.
