Should you workout in the morning or in the evening?\u00a0 It’s a debate you hear often and everyone has their opinion as to which is better.\u00a0\u00a0 I think it depends on what works best for you and your schedule.<\/p>\n

For the most part, my weekday workouts happen in the evening.\u00a0 I work a relatively early work schedule.\u00a0 I leave for work before 7am.\u00a0 Yes, I know some of you leave much earlier than that.\u00a0 But that means that to get in a workout, I’m suddenly getting up in the 4am hour.\u00a0 That’s pretty early in my world.\u00a0 The advantage to the early day is that I’m typically home by 6, so then I can get in a solid workout in the evening.<\/p>\n

For me, I’m much more likely to talk myself out of an early morning workout.\u00a0 It’s just too easy for me to hit the snooze on my alarm clock and suddenly, the time that I set aside to run is gone.\u00a0 But if I want to do something in the evenings after work, that means getting up in the morning no matter how much I don’t want to.\u00a0 For me, getting up early is easier as a rarity.<\/p>\n

But I know a lot of people who don’t want to go home and workout.\u00a0 The last thing they want to do after a long day at the office is get on the treadmill or pull on a bathing suit.\u00a0 I can understand that.\u00a0 I know that on cold winter days, all I want to do is curl up on the couch and watch tv.\u00a0 And the later I get home, the harder it is.\u00a0 So for people in that boat, getting up a bit earlier can definitely help.<\/p>\n

I think the big key is that whatever you pick, make it part of your routine.\u00a0 Make a workout schedule.\u00a0 Commit.\u00a0 And stick to it.<\/p>\n
