I'd have to wake up at a ridiculous hour to have time to work out and shower before work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052946 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 18:02:52 +0000 Anya 2052946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends on the day but typically evening, occasionally on my lunch break. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052432 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:58:14 +0000 Eko 2052432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll usually go during the day on my lunch break since my work allows me to do it. If I can't, I'll go in the afternoons.</p> <p>If this helps making getting up a little easier, changing the time of day you workout gives an extra shock to your body and your workouts will be better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052393 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:47:51 +0000 petunia354 2052393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer mornings but that means I have to get up at 4:45 in order to be showered and ready to go plus get DS ready to leave the house at 7:00. Unfortunately DH leaves the house at 5am so he's no help :silly: It hasn't been happening lately though because it's SO cold in the morning and I can't get motivated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052374 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:39:31 +0000 PawPrints 2052374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Evening. My preferred routine is to do a workout video (currently prenatal pilates) after prepping dinner, while it is simmering or roasting or whatever. These days I'm also trying to work in some mid-day walks to get some diversity into my activity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052358 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:34:40 +0000 jhd 2052358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted morning. I really just try to fit it in where I can but I think mornings before LO wakes up are the best option. He's a night owl so there's no way to do it after he goes down at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052346 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:29:31 +0000 NurseDMB 2052346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At night after DS goes to bed, because I usually shower at night anyway. I am not a morning person at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052340 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:27:54 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2052340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer morning... But it's hard! Last summer I commited to 5am classes 3x a week, and it actually was pretty awesome. But I can't get myself to do it again </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052330 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 13:24:32 +0000 autumnleaves 2052330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5:45am jazzercise during the week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052255 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:57:03 +0000 MamaCate 2052255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get up at 5:30 three mornings a week and do DVDs in my living room for 30 minutes. It is the only real time I can fit it in during the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052254 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:56:57 +0000 meredithNYC 2052254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always morning. Getting up in the cold and dark sucks so hard, but I love the early burst of energy and feeling of being ready for the day ahead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052244 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:54:30 +0000 twodoghouse 2052244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After my kids go to bed, usually around 7. Sometimes I think it gives me too many endorphins to work it before bed though, so I'd like to do it earlier, but I don't really know when. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052240 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:53:02 +0000 edelweiss 2052240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lunchtime--my office building has a small but serviceable gym and they have classes during lunch hours. otherwise i would try to do it in the evenings, but that is hard because all i want to do is veg out after LO goes to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052204 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:45:10 +0000 MoreCoffee 2052204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I switch off gym nights, and I have one glorious work from home day where I can sneak out during lunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052189 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:42:41 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2052189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5:45 am.

Usually between 9-11 we get around to it. Early morning might kill me and I'm beat by evening most of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052154 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:33:40 +0000 loveisstrange 2052154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer going in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052120 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:25:14 +0000 alohaorchid 2052120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now in the evening, but once we get a gym set up in our house I'm going to aim for the mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052083 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:13:01 +0000 MrsKRB 2052083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6 am before work, it's tough, but it's way better to get it over for me than to have to go after work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052061 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:06:26 +0000 miramira 2052061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My workout is rocking DS to sleep multiple times a day, lifting/carrying him loads, going out with him in the baby carrier... :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052056 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:02:37 +0000 blackbird 2052056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually go right after work, but I'll go in the morning sometimes, too. Just not while pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052006 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:37:31 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2052006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Morning! It sucks but it's just easier to go while everyone is still asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2052005 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:36:22 +0000 HLK208 2052005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really trying to make the switch to mornings too but I'm so slow to wake up - especially during the winter. Lately, 10-11am is working okay because I have time to drink my coffee in the morning but I get it done before B gets home from school so I still have time to help with homework, run errands and make dinner in the afternoon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2051999 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:34:43 +0000 yoursilverlining 2051999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At lunch.

But I'm too tired to go to the gym or do more than a few min. :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-do-you-work-out-2#post-2051991 Tue, 03 Feb 2015 11:32:49 +0000 chanada 2051991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a YMCA a block from work and I go over lunch when I can since I'm too busy outside work hours! After my fitness class, I usually eat lunch at my desk. </p>
