What time do you train

**SallyAnne** · 02-21-2009, 05:08 PM

I usually train about 8am - I drop my son off at school and then go to the gym. On the weekends, it's later - around 10am because I sleep in.

it will be hell changing your routine to early AM but after a couple of weeks you get used to it and it'll be fine. i did this for a while but am back to the 5-7pm time.

After work, about 4pm.

I was doing the before work thing, 5am, but at that hour i don`t put as much into my workouts.

Between 8pm and Midnight. I can never lift in the morning. The only thing I want to do is eat when I get up.

I have clients from 8am-1pm then I train and eat and start back with clients at 3:00 OR 3:30. mid day is great because though I feel tired imediately after training, as soon as I finish my post work out meal I get that good energy to get me through the evening.

Around 7:00

**gman** · 02-23-2009, 12:56 PM

6:30 am.

When I go in the evening, I am about 80% as strong, and the place is crowded as shit.

If you're a morning person, train before work.

If you don't have a problem going to sleep at night, train after work.

Not much difference, as long as you are still getting the rest, your body doesn't give a shit what time the workout is.

I work from 2:30 in the afternoon to 10:30 at night, so I usually train around 11:30 in the morning. It's nice because most normal people are at work that time of day and the gym is pretty empty.

around 10pm-midnight...

I train at 6 a.m.
Good side:
Lots of energy for the rest of the day!
Much more positive the rest of the day.
Seems I loose weight quicker.
Gym is usually pretty empty

Bad side:
-Much weaker than afternoon routines.
-It's really hard to get a good meal and a good workout (My good meal usually ends up on the floor as I refuse to have a bad workout) I can usually only handle a single scoop of protein
-Takes about 10 to 20 minutes to get the blood flowing and get a good solid pump.
-I tend to burn out quicker

If there is anyway you can train later, go for training later. Otherwise stock up on caffeine to get a good motivation for the morning.
