Workout times....

JohnTaline Posts: 11 Joined: 2002/04/26	2002/05/07, 03:01 PM What time do you guys workout? I mean lifting weights..not Cardio. I don't know when is best. Also I find myself getting pissed off at work if I'm going to be late to get to my workout. Am I crazy? I don't want to be like this. I want to be able to succeed at work and also stay in good shape. Please give suggestions. Also if morning is something you guys do, what do u guys usually eat that early. Thanks

I and start my day with oatmeal and protein powder whether I'm working out early or not. I switch to HIT when I'm on the road. Good workouts that don't take long and definitely do the job.

Since I don't worry about cardio I usually just wake up.. have some tea and oatmeal and then I workout.. and come back and go on with the day.. I try to avoid lifting in the afternoon because there are so many people there.. its like I have to wait in line for anymachine.. and I can't even see the freeweights rack because there are so many people around it... kinda sucks.. I usually get sick of that and leave.. I don't mind waiting a little bit for something.. but in the afternoon it feels like i'd spend an extra hour in the gym just waiting to get in on the stuff I want to use...

I do understand getting upset when leaving work late. My schedule is kind of flexible right now, so if I oversleep that means I go in to work later which means I get to the gym later which means it'll probably be more crowded which sucks.

Also, personally I'm no expert but I don't think theres REALLY a best time to workout(weights), just make a routine that you'll REALLY like and eat well and sleep well. Dan
