Hi Kathy,
I am totally with you, I have ALWAYS been an evening exerciser, I don't sleep well so if I were to get up really early to exercise I'd get about 4 bad hours of sleep a night, and lucky me, the more exhausted I am the worse I sleep, so I don't even think my body would get USED to early morning workouts. SO I work out at night, anywhere from 7 to 9:30 depending on what I'm doing and when I get home. A nice shot of espresso helps, actually a latte is great becasue of the caffeine and protein and seriously the best thing? TIVO! Now I don't have to try to cram my workouts in between shows I like I just Tivo them and workout when I'm ready to workout, then watch the shows later. Anyway I just make sure that I eat well and drink lots of water during the day and I don't let myself get really hungry so that when I get home from work I just have a snack, change my clothes and hit the step!
Unfortunately for me in a few months I have to start training for my black belt in tae kwon do which means two hour sessions every saturday morning at 7:30 am urrgggggg. I don't know what I am going to do! I'll have to get up REALLY early to get enough food and water in my system to deal with 2 hours of martial arts and conditioning. BLAH! I don't know how all those ladies do Cathe at 5 am they must not need any fuel or water in their systems! I would pass out!
