Re: Gym Question...Anyone work out in the AM..like before work???
When I had normal hours - I used to all the time. Loved it - it takes getting used to but sets your whole day on the right foot.
Now that I work in a high school & have to be on the road by 6:30am , I go around 3pm! I drink a sugar-free red bull on the way to wake my A S S up!

I used to when I had to be in by 9 & worked in an office on LI & the gym happened to be a mile away. It was so great to be done by the time the day started & you felt all revved up.
Last year I was finding myself rollerblading in the am b4 work.
Now my gym doesn't open till late

I just started working out in the a.m. I am NOT a morning person, but I have found that it gets easier after the first week!

I do on non-school days but during the regualr work week, i only go in the evenings. I am at school at 7am so it would be impossible for me to have a good w/o and still shower and get to work on time.
Kathleen all i can tell you is....you HAVE to push yourself. There are days that i am so dog tired the last thing i wanna do is w/o. But the feeling i get when i am done is so worth it!!! And there is nothing better than RESULTS!!!!
Just try it 2-3 days at first and dont set unrealistic goals or you will be miserable!!!

I used to go 3 mornings a week.....2 on weekdays and 1 weekend day and it worked out pretty good. now i work out at home, so sometimes i work out at night or in the AM. i always felt like i had more energy when i worked out in the AM.

FH got me going back to the gym this past Friday. I have to say that he is my motivation right now (aside from looking great in my dress). I went tonight with him after work but it's so hard because I am soooo tired when I get home. I think I'm gonna stick to Monday mornings (even though I havent been able to get my a$$ out of bed) and then Friday nights, and saturday and sunday morning/afternoon. I really gotta get my butt in gear!

I have been going in the morning for twoyears. Now if I don't make it in the morning, I am sluggish and exhausted. It just starts my day. I learned that you have to be consistent though. Never give that one day off because that one day leads to another and another and so on. good luck.

What gym to you go to? Maybe you can find someone here that goes to the same gym and you can make a plan to meet there. Then if you didnt feel like going, you would go out of guilt. I go at night because I am not a morning person. Some days I go right from work and other nights I go around 7:00. Once you get into the swing of things it becomes pretty routine. PLus they have some great fun classes at night.

I have tried to go in the morning but, I've been unsuccessful.
I go during lunch and take classes right now. It takes a little bit longer than my normal lunch hour but, since I am in early, they are lenient about it.

When i was going to the gym it was always easier to go in the morning because by the time i get home in the evening from the city the last thing i would want to is go to the gym.
You get used to it but never skip a day because as the other lady said one day leads to the next and before you know it it has been weeks.
Good Luck

I'm not a morning person at all and I just started going to the gym this past monday at 6:30AM. It feels great to sit at work drinking my morning coffee and knowing that I've already accomplished something. I also enjoy having my evenings free. I researched articles about AM workouts (I needed some of my own convincing) and most of the research supports AM gym visits. Apparently it helps keep your metabolism up all day and other good things (just google AM workout - there was a surprising amount of info). Good luck!

I don't go to the gym but I do work out at home at about 5:15am everyday. I had the same issue you did - too tired after work to get myself to do it. Honestly, the first few weeks it sucked getting up that early, but you get used to it. I actually tend to wake up around that time without the alarm now. I like that I get the workout over with and I feel so much better throughout the day.

You and me both. It's like I am so tired after, but I cant imagine getting up even EARLIER than before.
