I was wondering what time is better to go workout. I have a hard time waking up in the morning so it is tough. Once I get home from work, I am either too tired or do not feel like being bothered. What do you guys do? Is it better to work out in the morning?

I have never been a fan of training early morning. You are at your strongest in the evening. Why not go straight from work, before you go home? You will feel energised when you start training even if you feel a little beat straight after work. If you go home it's easy to get comfortable and can be an effort to leave the house to go training.

Lately, I've been changing into my workout clothes at work, drive toward home (1 hour comute) , swing by the park close to my neighborhood and run or walk. About 4:30p. (Lots of women at the park running this time of day).

Then swing by the gym and lift. (5:30p to 6:30p).

Then home...

I work 2 full time jobs. Evenings and Night shift. I usually go out and run 3 miles first then go to the gym. After that, I go to my Brazillian Jui jitsu class, then get home close to 1:00. Even if I didnt work the way I did, I would still work out in the morning because I believe in getting something like that out of the way as early as possible so I can have the rest of the day to myself.

I know people who get up at 6 in the morning to train. I could never do that since I'm a shambling zombie in the morning. I feel most energetic at night, a couple of hours before bed, so that's when I usually do it.
