    These days I exercise in the morning, after I finish my morning routine and eat. Before this I used to do everything at night but I found that I'm more tired and I sleep less better. Not to mention that the thought of having to exercise later in the day kept me feeling unaccomplished during work hours. When I was still paying for a gym membership I didn't have this issue, I guess that having all those people around me modified my behavior and reactions.

    You could look into water proofing your mp3 player, and listen to things while you swim.

    My exercise is split up into two segments - morning and late afternoon. I walk for about 30 minutes during both periods. As a result, over the past few months, I dropped a dress size.

    This process seems to be the only way my sluggish metabolism could get revved up again. Now, I am working on the food part. Changing my diet would help me tremendously with dropping excess weight.

    That's true I suppose but I hear that water proofing is expensive. I am very inexperienced also so I would need to be sure it was really water proof and not just water resistant.

    I thought night workouts would cause insomnia, Isn't that right? That is why I get up at the ungodly hour of 6:00am to go to the track! I would much rather workout at night !

    It doesn't really bother me if I am exercising at day or night and honestly I don't have a fix schedule for exercising but I exercise everyday. Whenever I am free that's the time I exercise in a day, depending of me being able to accomplish my priorities. Sometimes, I prefer to exercise in the morning so I would have to wake up early, but if there are things that I would have to finish first, I do it in the evening finishing everything I have to do before I go head for my workout.

    As much as I would love to wake up early and go to the gym, I can't find it in me to wake up over one hour earlier just to work out. So I go to the gym around 5 PM, which is kind of early and not night yet. So not exactly night yet, but early evening.

    I prefer exercising at night because I'm just too sleepy and lazy during day time. I also even get a lot better and more efficient at my work and tasks as the day progresses, so find it just natural to be more motivated to keep fit during night time. Additionally, I usually go out for walks as exercise and doing it at night is much more comfortable since it's a lot busier outside and I don't have to deal with as many cars or fellow joggers.

    I generally exercise at the evening, when I finished school, because that's the only time I'm not too tired to go for a run or something like that. In the summer it also cooled down a bit already, so I don't have to run in the sun.

    Right on Jayden, there are many doctors and trainers who would completely agree with you. Working out in the morning is always the suggestion I have heard; it gets your metabolism going and feeds endorphins to your brain.

    Anecdotally, I can't get to sleep if I workout after 7:30 pm. But, if I workout in the morning I feel great all day long.

    I like working out in the morning, usually around 7am. I feel like a good morning workout sets me up for the busy day ahead. I feel more focused at work and just feel generally better overall. It also seems to help me sleep better at night. I even dumped my caffeine habit when I started working out in the morning.

    I normally hit the gym four days a week. These could be random but I make sure that they are four. If it is work days, I visit the gym in the evening after work. This way I can workout not minding the time and thinking that I will be exhausted at work. But if it is weekends then I workout in the morning it is more convenient.
