Default When is the best time to workout?

Ive heard various theories claiming that working out in the morning sees you get better results. Is this true? What time do you guys workout? have you noticed a difference in morning/evening workouts? Personally I seem to be a bit more lethargic in the mornings so dont get as much done.

I like to workout in the morning, if i had enough sleep this is the best time for me to work out. Also, you feel great for the rest of the day.

I'm more of an evening guy. I need to be fully awake to really get into my workout. Plus it helps me sleep better.

To address the actual question here...I don't think it matters when you workout. I would advise not to do it RIGHT before bed because your metabolism will go from very high to very low very quickly and that isn't what you want.

I always do my workouts in the morning. Im not sure if its proven either way if its better to do them in the morning or evening - I think its more down to the individual. I find though that having my workout early on leaves me fresh and alert for the rest of the day, where as if I worked out in the evening I am usually allready a bit tired from working all day.

I wouldn't want to work in the evening, it would be so tiring. After a long day of work, to work out? I wouldn't be able to do it.

I always work out before work in the mornings. Up at 6am - at the gym by 7am , finished and showered by 8.30 am and at work by 9am. No better way to start the day!

I think working out in the morning would be perfectly fine, for many reasons, mainly because of mentioned above it makes your day feel alot better.

I always work out in the evenings - mainly because I am so NOT a morning person Im sure I read in a fitness magazine though that it is scientifically proven that you perform better in the mornings - therefore your workouts would be mroe effective!

I hear that morning time is the best time to go. I usually work out in the afternoon after I've had a snack or a small lunch. Sometimes I work out before then eat after. I'm not too sure which one is better to do though. Any ideas?
