| I'm specifically interested in hearing from people who don't work from home, and aren't able to work out during their lunch hour. |

| Now. I get up at 530 and work out 4 days during the week. Run M/W, gym T/Th and then workout once or twice on the weeken (run/yoga). I'm up now to tidy as the cleaning lady comes today - I should be asleep (or tidying and not in DCUM!). |

Not OP but wow! What time do you go to bed at night? I'm so not a morning person, and my house is small enough that when I get up early it wakes my kids. But I admire you! |

| Up at 5 am to run before work. 2-3 days of the work week then anoth run on the weekend. I also started doing some body weight exercises in the evening for about a half hour after dinner. |

| Up at 5 to go to a 6am barre class. It's the only time of the day I can exercise. |

| I want to be a morning person but I'm just not. I telework one day a week so I get one afternoon workout in during the weekday. One day a week my kid has practice at a rec center so while he does that I get on the treadmill in the workout room. I will also go to the rec center on Saturday to get on the treadmill. It's not enough and I'm trying to fit in a couple more workouts during the week. |

Not enough, especially during the winter. I work out on weekend afternoons, while my kids are napping (husband stays home- I cover for him at other times so he can work out).
When it's a bit nicer, I usually bike to and from work, an hour ride each way, 2-3 times a week. My usual commute is about 45 minutes each way, so it adds some time, but not too much. Once in a while I motivate to work out early in the morning before work, but honestly not enough. If we had exercise equipment in our house, it may be a bit easier to squeeze it in in the morning or after the kids go to bed. |

When I can't work out at lunch, and especially during the summer when it's really hot, I run or work out in the morning before work. It's nice to have your workout over and done with by 7:00 a.m. A couple evenings a week, I go to yoga after work. (and occasionally do my other workout afterward if I didn't get to it earlier.)
On weekends, I take my child to the gym with me. |

| Wake up at 5am. I'm in a moms running group and the majority of us are working out before the house wakes up. Some of them start at 4:45. |

After the kids go to bed. I go to a class twice a week 8:30 to 10pm and sometimes will do the bike trainer at home or, in the summer, run in the evening after our kids go to bed. If I manage to prep dinner ahead of time, I'll sometimes go on a quick pre-dinner run as soon as DH gets home if that's my only option for a daylight run.
At times in the past I have gotten up early (hard now b/c my husband goes in to work at 6am and our kids get up early) or gone to the gym at lunch a couple times a week. DH works out at his work gym in the morning. |

In the evenings. My gym has later classes starting at 7/7:30 PM that I go to.
It's not perfect as it interrupts the whole evening but it works. I would love to work out over lunch instead but I can't take more than an hour for lunch so there isn't enough time. |
