Work Out A Solution

I am a morning person. When I’ve had enough sleep I wake up feeling like I can take on the world. But unlike most people I cannot exercise in the morning. I’m not one of those people who are energized by a good workout. Working out wipes me out, for the rest of the day. But working out in the evening is hard. Other things come up by the time 4:30 rolls around, or sometimes I’m just too tired to drag myself and my three kids to the gym. Luckily I’m a big enough exercise addict that I do it anyway. Between Monday and Saturday I usually get to the gym 5 times. I just can’t live without my workouts.

Normally we head to the gym at 4:30. Then we come home and eat dinner and get ready for bed. This works great for us. This summer Grey’s tennis lesson has been moved to Thursday morning so I do a workout at the same time. Then we head to the waterslide. It’s a perfect solution. My kids need to swim and I’m too tired to do anything else but sit by the pool with the baby.

When do you feel you’re best? What is your favorite time of day to exercise? If you're having a hard time getting to the gym maybe a different time of day would work better for you. Experiment until you find a time that works. Don't give up on yourself!
