Morning, afternoon or evening exerciser?
 
Evening for me. Afterwards I eat a light dinner, shower then pass out. I'm in awe of those who can roll out off bed, hit the gym at 5 or 6 am then go to work after cleaning up. Exercise always makes me sleepy.

morning for me, but I usually get up around 7:15 on weekends, maybe 6:00 if I want to go to a race/airshow/car show that is far away and starts in the morning.

Evening or mid day......I am not a morning person

Yeah, so I get up leave the house and start going strong about 4...pm.

Late afternoon for me. 4ish.

Morning, as soon as I wake up, can be 4 or 5 in the morning, family still asleep.

I like 2 season for exercise morning and evening. And I think both 2 of it are working great.

Evening for me. The used to drag us out of bed at 6 am in the Army. Not nice :(

Evening. Come home from work stressed, do my routine, shower, eat a light meal and sleep like a baby.

It depends upon my schedule which alternates month to month. Mostly afternoon and evening, but I don't like to wait too late into the evening or I lose my motivation to do anything but gear down for bed. I'm naturally a night owl, but once I'm awake, I'm awake, so I can do it in the morning. If I do exercise in the morning it does rev me up a bit and makes me a bit peppier throughout the day.

Morning. 6am to the gym. Wash up at gym and head to work alert and feeling accomplished. The downside is at about 3pm I start to drag. I'd love to be able to work out around 2:30 but my schedule won't permit. I have found that the best time for me when I get the most benefit (especially mentally) is when I actually don't want to exercise.

Evening and morning, often again if we wake up in the middle of the night.

Best ab workout going.

Tobra 06-09-2017 05:23 AM

How is laying on your back and having a woman ride you like a pony a good ab workout?

If walking counts as a workout, morning, because the dog wakes up wanting to go for about an hour walk, well, more of a run every day. Basketball in the afternoon with the grandson a few times a week, which is a bit rougher on me than the running with the dog. Dog is up, chewing on my arm as I am typing, so that is that.

4 am Monday through Friday. I call it "4 at 4" . Four mile run at four am. Been doing it for over a decade.

Afternoons on the way home from work. If I get home then I never get back to the gym.

VincentVega 06-09-2017 05:58 AM

I switched to mornings this spring. I'm still struggling. I switched to give me more time at home in the evening. Seems counter productive to be inside when its nice outside and I have plenty to do.

It feels great to be done by 7:30, post workout buzz gets me going rather than keep me up at night. But... I'm not a morning person so general workout intensity is down a bit. Some days I hit the snooze and wake up too late. Today I got there but am beat from a spin class last night. Oh well.

I went for a two hour walk after dinner last week which included a bunch of arm rolling exercises that up my heartbeat. I did not sleep well to say the least and dragged all the next day.

I will stick to mornings - thank you.

Almost always strength train in the morning 5:30ish for about 35 minutes using my home gym 3 days a week. Run on treadmill during the day on weekends. I'm a family man who does much of the cooking, cleaning, etc. Working out in the morning frees up time for more important stuff.

scottmandue 06-09-2017 07:05 AM

I'm a early riser and have been known to have a cup of coffee and go for a walk before the wife gets up.

However on a work day I drag myself (literally) out of bed around 5:00AM to be on the road by 6:00 and at the salt mines around 7:00 so no way I can workout in the morning.

VincentVega 06-09-2017 07:07 AM

If I dont pack my bag the night before no chance I'm getting it done. Up and in the car in ~10 min.
