I liked yesterday’s early workout so much that I had Adam drop me off at the gym again this morning.
I did a treadmill workout – warm up + 1 mile run (9:17) + incline walking – 2.25miles and 30minutes, followed by a quick stretch and some abs moves.
I haven’t 100% come to a decision yet, but I think I’m going to move towards morning workouts from now on (vs. going at the end of the day after classes) –
cons of morning workouts
- it adds a 3rd walking trip to my day (Adam drops me at the gym, I walk home to shower, I walk back for class, I walk home again)
- I won’t have time to eat breakfast before my workout
- it’s hard for me to wake up before 8
pros of morning workouts
- my workout is out of the way for the day
- not having to work out after class makes me much more likely to study before dinner
- I can wear one thing from class through the end of the evening; I hate feeling like I “wasted” a cute outfit because I have to change into gym clothes at the end of class
- I won’t have to stuff the aforementioned change of outfit into my purse to get it home from the gym
After a quick shower, I made myself a nice little breakfast.
A mug of cocoa,
half a Sandwich Thin with chunky peanut butter and honey,
and a juicy clementine.
The mix of flavors here was so satisfying. I am super psyched that clementines are back in season, we’ve got a crate in our fridge!
I have one class on Fridays (biochem) and then my plan is to hole up in a coffee shop somewhere and power through some homework.
When do you prefer to work out?

I wish I could workout in the morning but I hit the gym after work. On the few times I could workout before work I loved it. Every machine was open, nobody was in the pool and I felt great the entire day.
I’m a morning person, so I love early AM workouts. I’m up at 4:30 so I can workout and have a little *me* time before the troops wake up to start the day.
I work out in the morning sometimes, and I do enjoy it, but my favorite time to work out is after work or school, when I’m done with my hard “mental” stuff for the day and I can take a break…I actually really enjoy it. The only time I go in the morning is if there’s something after work I want to do.
I don’t prefer to but i HAVE to work out in the AM. otherwise work can get in the way and i end up not going 😦

I try working out first thing in the morning. If I wait too long then i’ll find a million different reasons why I can’t exercise.
I prefer working out in the morning. I don’t have to change into another outfit because I had to get changed for the gym; I get it done, so I have the rest of the day to do other things without worrying about fitting in my workout; and I’m more likely to work out if it is in the morning.
I like working out in the morning, or I have a hard time getting the motivation to as the day goes on.
