Seriously, working out in the morning sucks.

Staying in bed and getting more sleep.

Used to be the same way. Now I love it.

The big problem for me is hunger.

BIG breakfast. Good snacks during the day. Light dinner.

I'm trying to lose weight so I like feeling hungry right now.

I do both. I get up at 4:30am to do cardio for an hour before work then in the evenings I lift for an hour before I get

Wow, are you going to sleep in the next half hour? I could never get up that early regularly.

Grit for Brains

2/18/19 7:58pm

I'm usually in bed by 9:30. Can't make gains if you don't get enough sleep

Slim

When do you Netflix and chill?

Grit for Brains

2/18/19 8:00pm

I work a lot of weekends so I get weekdays off while the kids are at school to do that.

Slim

2/18/19 8:03pm

Nah.

Mufasa

2/18/19 7:56pm

Easy - just do it after you spend time with your family/put kids to bed.

a priori

2/18/19 7:58pm

Anything after 9:00 is too late for me. I guess i'm just a morning guy.

Mufasa

2/18/19 7:59pm

I can't fall asleep if I work out before bed. And can't take preworkout that late at night

Slim

Same. I honestly think it boils down to whether you’re an “early bird” or “night owl”.

Zach Morris

2/18/19 7:58pm

This is probably the answer. I'm a night owl.

I love the idea of it and generally speaking the worlds most successful are early risers but

Yeah as long as you are productive during that window it doesn't matter at all

It was the only way I got consistent for more than a few months

2/18/19 8:01pm

Can you go to bed earlier?

Cashmeousside

2/18/19 8:09pm

I can, but I probably won't.

a priori

2/18/19 8:43pm

I can do cardio early, but not lifting. Have to lift later when I'm fully

You do two a days frequently?

Not really, I generally alternate between the two

2/18/19 8:41pm

I look forward to it all day. It's part of my nightly routine.

That’s actually the one negative for me of working out at night

TCuz

2/18/19 8:45pm

You.... Don't like working out? But why? Working out is the best.

Slim

2/18/19 8:51pm

I like eating too. So I guess we are all into different things

TCuz

2/18/19 8:55pm

You're like eating AND hate working out? That sucks, bro.

Slim

2/18/19 9:00pm

I weigh like 169 lbs so it’s working out ok for me.

TCuz

2/18/19 9:03pm

To each their own. Go for it then. My workouts are aroun 1.5-2 hours daily.
