What time of day?

What time of day do you lift and why?

I lift at about 4:00 to 5:00 pm, mostly because I'm getting home from work and don't have to start dinner yet. I'd rather lift in the morning, but I just haven't had the motivation to get out of bed on these really cold mornings.

I lift in the afternoon (4:30pm) after work because I don't have time in the morning. In the morning we have to get my daughter up & dressed & to the sitter's house so I can get to work by 7:30am.

I've trained in the mornings, but I feel like my energy/strength levels are lower because I don't have a full days food in me.

either morning or early afternoon-unless my work schedule gets in the way. Plus the gym is too crowded in the evenings.

usually around 5pm. Anything earlier in the day and I seem to be weaker.

7:30 PM.....I wish I could get in there earlier but with my work schedule that's about the only time I have.

I have tried just about every different time going.....

Right now I work out at 6:30am before work. I just feel like doing this gets it done and out of the way so I can just relax after work.

Do you drink coffee before you start? Or are you already awake enough?

Usually I am awake enough.... sometimes I need a coffee....

If you think thats early, what would you say about when I used to work out at 5:30am.......

When I bike in the summer, I usually leave the house at 5:15 a.m. so that I'm back by 6:00 - but that's only during the summer months when it's light enough. I do like working out in the morning - it prompts me to be more diligent about the diet all day.

That is true....

It also makes me feel pretty good for most of the day.

chelle · Jan 26, 2004

8:30 a.m. I prefer in the morning, I am well rested.

jaywooly · Jan 26, 2004

I usually work out at about 9:00 or 10:00pm. That is when I finally have some free time for myself.

How soon do you go to sleep afterwards? Do you need some time to relax first?

Usuall an hour or two after my workout is over.

Say I workout at 10:00pm, I'll be done right after 11:00pm. I'll be asleep by no later than 1:00am. Then I'll wake up at 8:30 am for work.

I work on salary so it's usually more than 8 hours a day, plus a night class I take, plus a girlfriend, I'm amazed that I get to workout at all!

Wait until you throw kids into the mix - then you'll be dragging kids to the gym or working out around them at home. Our 4 year old climbs on all the equipment in our gym.

Well, here comes the get up at 3 am guy and at the gym by 3:30 am. I sleep in until 4 am on the weekends though!
I am phisically at my best in the early am. I would not even consider going in at some of the times you guys go in..Way to late for me...

tuned up · Jan 26, 2004

gotta lift by 930 am or i,m too un focused

Skip · Jan 27, 2004

10 am like clockwork.

I think that if I had to train in the evening after work, I would take up golf. I can't stand the gym at that time - everyone in your way.

I train at 2:30 p.m.

I use to train at 5:30a.m. but my schedule for work changed to 5:00a.m.-- 2:00p.m., then leave for the gym. I like it, the gym is fairly empty at that time
