re: Morning workouts - how long until you got used to it?

I got used to it after a few weeks. It makes me feel more awake throughout the day and I like knowing I can go home straight from work and do what ever I want.
Downside is if you go out often on week nights, you aren't going to get a great workout in hungover on 4 hours of sleep.

Short answer--takes a couple weeks.
Switched to mornings the first week of December and it's really been great. Wouldn't say I'm a "morning person" but after getting used to it, I've been full of energy all day.
But previous poster was right--tough to party during the week bc I'm usually ready for sleep no later than 10.
Good luck

2-3 weeks.
I don't like mornings either but I switched to morning workouts and its been great. Gets you going in the morning and gives you energy for morning rounds, etc.
Stick with it and good luck.

I work shift work so when I work nights I go to the gym right when I get off in the morning before going to bed and on days go after I get off at 6pm. People think I'm crazy for going after being up all night but I much prefer that then messing with the 6pm crowd.
After a night shift I'm just going home and going to bed so why not workout first but after a day shift in ready to go home drink a beer sit on the couch and watch tv so the evening workout requires a little more motivation

Never. I can't do mornings. I can mentally function at 6:00am but my body can't lift at that time. I'm in the afternoon.

I've been in the gym in the AM consistent for 3 years and am not a morning person. If that's you....
I freaking hate going any earlier than 5:30. I just can't.
Monday and Tuesday are way easier than end of week, so I do those two and take Wed off. Work out Thursday and usually make Friday.
Biggest transition that got better just with a little effort was changing my bed time. I go to bed at 9:30 now rather than 11:30. I really don't miss that time at all and just took getting my routine adjusted. But that took a few months.

I think you should stop working out and embrace middle age like everyone else
Why does everyone think Scruffy is middle aged?

So many weak disgusting fat bodies in this thread bitching about waking up and getting the weight moving.

If I get out of bed, I'm ready for a morning workout. It's the getting out of bed that's difficult. For me, 4 a.m. is the only time I know I can get a workout in. If I try at lunch, I may be working on something and can't sneak away for a while. After work and the pool at the gym may be full, my wife may work late and I need to get my son etc.. there seem to be more excuses in the afternoon. So I force myself to get up most times.
The toughest part is the day you take a break. Those mornings you get to sleep in are so great it's really tough to convince yourself to get up early again

I wake up promptly at 5:30am every morning and after 20 years of on-and-off working out, I just could never adjust to a.m. workouts...I switched from week day workouts to a Friday-Monday routine - that way 2 of the 4 days I can workout during the mid-morning hours.

It's better to work out with having fasted anywhere from 8 to 10 hours? I don't think so.
It's better to do a cardio session on an empty stomach first thing in the morning
