When do you train?

When do you prefer training – morning or night time?

I always preferred mornings, I hate waking up but once you up and moving it feels genuinely great to be done before most people’s alarms have gone off. Knowing you don’t still have to train later is nice if your day gets busy and stressful and it gives you a boxer kind of energy (once you get past the first few weeks when you might experience a mid morning slump!).

But getting up is hard and I have to admit that now I don’t have to to teach I struggle so evening sessions happen more often. They are good for clearing the stress from the day and giving you a chance to shake off anything that’s maybe put you in a bad mood. It eats into your evening though so I’m not totally keen. I’m not really a night owl.

I also really like training at lunch time. I’m lucky I have access to a gym in my building at work, so I can pop down, train and get back up to the office in my lunch break. That breaks up the day and gets me away from my desk, although it’s really hard to get it done when you’re having a busy day and it becomes easy to put it off.

When’s your favourite time to train?
