I have been a morning exerciser for years. For a long time I would do my workout around 5:30-ish and had no problems. This last semester (I'm a student and commute 35 minutes one way) I would get up at 6, have breakfast, and then work out just after 8am after taking DD to school because I didn't have a class until 1pm. This next semester I will have a morning class 3x a week and 2x a week I will be out of the house even earlier to get to my internship. I have been trying to get up at 5am to work out at 5:30, before DH & DD wake up, but it has been a very painful process. I have been dealing with sleep issues for the last 6 months and so getting up that much earlier is just wiping me out during the day.
I've been thinking of switching my workouts to late afternoon/early evening but I'm afraid I'll be too tired to work out, or that things will come up and get in the way. For those of you that work out later in the day and have families, how do you balance out your time? Do you work out before or after dinner?
If anyone can give me a little advice, I'd be much appreciative
