What time of day do you usually work out?

Vintage VFer · 09-21-19, 11:12 AM

I usually do a workout in the late afternoon. It should be early afternoon but I tend to procrastinate. Especially on leg days.

DH works out in the morning.

Mornings! I've been doing that for so long that on the rare occasion I do an afternoon workout, it feels "weird"

(lighting in the room, etc). Now, I will do yoga in the evenings sometimes and enjoy that.

Sometimes I'll do a stretch before bed to relax.

I couldn't vote because I use two times - I run or spin between 6-8am and then do strength between 8-10am.

But mornings are best for me!

Weekday mornings for consistency, then often I add a yoga class either at noon (wellness center at work) or early evening at a studio. On weekends, all bets are off! I voted 6-8 am because my usual weekday time slot is 6-7, plus a walk after breakfast just before 8.

It said I couldn't vote for some reason, but I work out in the late afternoon, early evening. I used to do it after I got home from my job, and since I'm in the habit I've kept it up. I'm also not a morning person in any way, shape, or form, so working out in the morning the few times I've had to do it was pure torture.

This has happened before. I have no idea why it won't let you vote!

I usually work out between 6-7am. If I don't do it then, it just doesn't get done. I like to start my day with a great workout. I have other things I like to do in the afternoons. I'm set in my ways.

I'm forming a new habit that I can stick with. Getting this book Atomic Habits so I can get a handle on fitness.

so for me, I have chosen to do it before I eat Breakfast.
After I feed the bird and the dog
then it's time for me

and then we are off. to do the best I can for that day

Unfortunately, between 4:30AM and 5:30AM. I am not an early bird by any means, but it's the only way to assure myself I'll get my workout in. Plus, it's the only time of day that I can have time to myself. Unless Big Bubble wants to have a conversation. He's been known to chat through my workout time. He gets up at 3:30AM to run
