NWR: Working out in the morning VS. in the evening

Do you prefer working out before or after work? And why….

I work out before work because I feel more energized the whole day. Also because my gym is very small and gets packed at night.

After, I like to sleep as late as possible in the AM.

I do it after work. I already get up too early in the morning.

I like the morning, that way I can get it over with, otherwise I make too many excuses.

I work out in the afternoon, around 4:00, but I would prefer mornings. I can't do it now becuase I have to leave for work a 7, that means I would have to be at the gym around 5am!!! No thanks!! In the summer when I am off I work out around 10am

Re: NWR: Working out in the morning VS. in the evening

Personally, I would prefer the morning because I have more energy and like to start my day that way due to the after workout energy surge. Unfortunately my gym does not open until 9am (Lucille Roberts) and I am already at work by then (8:30am).

So I am forced to go after work which really ***** cause by the time I get to the gym around 6:30 I am tired and want to eat dinner but have to wait till after my workout. which sometimes is like 7:30 - 8pm ( I detest eating dinner that late). Half the time I am so tired I don't even go, plus I have a 11 1/2 month old son and I want to see & spend time with him after work cause I am gone all day long too...

At this point I may either switch gyms or I may start running in the Am before work (FH does not really want me to run at 5am by myself because he says its not safe) I plan on starting to training for a 10K race soon which will take several months and requires alot of running and endurance testing - which can't comfortably be done on any treadmill!!!

I never really work out but if I ever do get the urge to it's at night. Partially cause FI is working and I'm home alone, but also cause I'm too tired in the morning to do so. But I think you're supposed to do it in the morning, not really sure where I read that but they say it's healthier to work out in the AM and get your adrenaline going early in the day in a good way. So then you can just relax at night and not overwork your body before going to sleep.

That's pretty much why I don't think I will switch to the mornings. it is a good stress reliever!

I alternate depending on my schedule....I am so not a morning person but love when I get my workout in in the morning.

Lunchtime, I take a late lunch around 1:30 and go for about 45 minutes. It breaks up the day..

Same for me.......I work out after work. Every now and then I will go on my machine on a Saturday morning, but thats only if I have to make up for a day I missed during the week....
