for ones who workout before work...

there was this crazy lady ...

ahhh ha ha ha ha
Yeah... we've all seen her. She takes aerobics classes, stands in the front doing goofy stuff throwing off the concentration of the instructor & griping about everything from the routine to the speed of the music to the volume of the microphone. If only I could kick these ladies out!

Regarding energy after work... I sit in a cube behind a PC all day (shhhh! You don't see me here right now! he he) so I can't WAIT to hit the gym at 5:00. I'm absolutely ITCHING to go *move*... so I guess I'm the opposite. It feels odd to me to go straight home after work.

ohhhh im soooo with you on this...
my gym opens at 6am, well there was this crazy lady who used to go every morning, and if they didnt open the door at 6:00:01, she would go nuts. She would then run as fast as she could to the tradmills and start running like there was no tomorrow, while in an electric blue unitard and curlers!!!!! Same outfit every day. Well I am happy to say they kicked her out....probably a good thing, otherwise she would have been killed by a staff member...

that was me

Been working out at 5am for about 10 years now, I train at home so that is a plus, it use to be hard to get up, but i've been doing it for so long I can not wait to get up and train. Some days I wake up before the alarm and just get up. I love it..no better way to start the day!

I've also been getting up at 4:30am to get to the gym by 5-5:30am. For me it just makes sense. I feel great all day, but admittedly it's not always easy. But the one thing I know is that with work and other life disturbances it would be even more difficult in the evening. I don't necessarily have a set time to work, get in or leave. For me at that time of the morning other than my own laziness I have no excuses not to go, whereas in the evening I may have to work late, bad day, traffic, etc.

I can't do a whole workout in the morning, but I try to do enough to get my metabolism going a bit. I typically do 100-200 crunches, 100 pushups, stretches and other calisthenics, and so on. I might do a couple sets on the bowflex. If I really really feel ambitious, I might go running.

The two showers....not a problem...

cause i go back home after cardio in am and shower & wash my hair....then after weights in pm....just shower....don't wash my hair.....cause i'm just gonna throw it up in a ponytail the next morning to do cardio....

and i have long, extremely thick....naturally curly mop....no way i'd wash it twice a day!!

I'm everyday @ 4:30 to be at the gym by 5.

If I did not get all of my clothes and food ready the night before I would never go to the gym!!!!

Also, the gym after work is a damn MEAT RACK!!
