Are you a morning exerciser or an evening exerciser?

Depends on wehre I can get it done with a 3 yr old who is very busy. Sometimes I workout as late as 9 just so I can do it when he's sleeping. Now yrs ago I read that it is best to work out in the am to get your metabolisim moving. I think anytime is good as long as your doing it..

There are short workouts available on-demand Comcast. I get up early to water the garden and get online for personal and work email before I go in. In the past, I found that the 10-15 minute video stretch or yoga routines really start the day out right, and then the longer heavier workouts (I do circuit training) are just that much better. I'll start again this week!

I have more energy in the morning. I get wiped out by the evening.

I can barely wake up to make it to work on time, let alone wake up an hour and a half before that to workout. It wont happen. Therefore, i workout after work. If i was more a morning person, i would choose to work out in the morning. However, it just doesnt work for me.

I exercise in the morning and evening ( 120 minutes cardio ).

I use to excerise in the evening and it worked with my schedule before but now I excercise during lunch due to my schedule.

Cool! I like to go for sunset walks on the local beach with my girls and 2 labs. We often walk the dogs after dark in the summer when it's cooler. We love the way we can see the moon and enjoy each others' company without distractions, we find that exercise is nearly effortless this way, and we sleep better afterwards.

I am an evening exerciser. I am not a morning person and I do not like to be rushed, I feel that I can actually get my exercise more easily in the evening right after work. If I get home I usually do not exercise, but if I do it right after work, works for me :-).

how early do you go? it just seems like it would be a lot of rushing around in the morning. Granted, evening is too easy to not do it.

I love to start my day my working out. I feel good all day. I always wonder how people have the energy to workout in the evenings. Evenings to me are for relaxing not working up a sweat. When I do workout in the evenings, it makes me hungry and it takes too long for my body to unwind and get relaxed enough to go to sleep. Another, benefit to working out in the morning, is that you burn fat faster. At least, that is what I have been told.

i like to work out in the evening , its much better for me

What recent study was this? I am not sure I believe it. I work out in the morning and I find this to be a very effective way to burn fat and get my metabolism revved up for the day. I also am more likely to get my workout in if I do it in the morning. If I wait until the late afternoon, then often something else comes up and gets in the way, or I am just plain tired. I get up early in the morning to workout before the work day. I have been able to maintain my weight much better this way than when I worked out in the afternoon or evening.

I am a evening -late afternoon workout person. I work all day.

While I prefer working out in the AM, I'm luckey to have the good fortune to have a gym available on campus - so I workout at mid-day. I swim at night most of the time, but on weekends at noon. For me, getting the exercise is most important. When is secondary.

FIRST AM & LAST PM !!!!!! I NEED ALL THE ADVANTAGES I CAN GET !!

i used to worj out early but the gym is too packed ..so i work out late around 10:00pm ..when the gym is empty .....you can better focus on form ..when there is no distractions

First thing after waking up I eat breakfast then exercise. If I don't do it then I usuallly get side-tracked and don't do it at all.

I'm definitely a morning person, too much activity in the evening makes it very difficult for me to sleep.

Typically I do two a days. AM Session, PM Session. Depending on how I feel, or how soon i have a PR day coming up, I'll do three. Personally, I think the best time to exercise is whenever is best for you, because that's what's going to work.

Walk 2 - 3 miles sometimes around noon and swim laps in the evening. I prefer an AM workout, but don't have time before leaving for work.
