Re: Wake up and Bedtime Hours

My pal, also a 12 hour nurse, hauls herself out of bed at 5am to do the

workout........I can't and heave through it after work.........

<<What time do all of you wake up for workouts, and go to bed to make sure

I get up at 4:30am to go to the gym. I go to bed around 10 but usually don't

fall asleep until closer to midnight. I have 6 kids and usually at least 1

or two get up during the night so not much sleeping going on at our house.

I'm trying to get to bed by 10pm every night - even if I lay there and

read for an hour or so, I want to be IN BED by 10 each night. I have

never been a morning workout person, but I'm trying to incorporate a

little morning workout since I have no excuse anymore (my son got his

license last year so I don't have to drive kids to school anymore!). I

did 10 minutes on my mini-stepper this morning and wall push-ups.

Better than nothing, right? I do an hour to hour-and-a-half at night

after work - 3-6 times a week depending on how busy I am.

With two kids, a dog and a cat, I barely get a good night's sleep as it is.

I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I just do my workout after the kids are off to

school.

The hubby and I go to bed between 9 and 9:30. We get up between 5 and 6.

What I do make sure of is that sleep comes first, because with my schedule,

if I can't haul my butt out of bed at 5 because I'm exhausted, I can work

out at lunch, or after work.

Its really important to make sure you get enough sleep when you are working

out hard. I need a lot of sleep anyway, so I need a WHOLE lot when I'm

working out intensely.

Wow I feel awful. I'm lucky to get to bed by midnight and I'm up by 8 a.m.

My workouts are usually after my husband gets home from work in the evenings

at 6 p.m.

I don't wake up early to work out. Since I have to get my son to school,

then to work, I go to the gym to work out in the afternoon/evening after

work. Getting to bed at a reasonable hour is hard for me, but I've been

aiming for 10pm, since I have to be out of bed by 7am. Any earlier, and my

body would revolt!

i hate morning workouts and therefore don't do them.

i get up at 6:20 and crash at 10 or 11.

cardio is at 1:00 pm while my kids are sleeping and the gym is at four

when the daycare opens up. it works for me.

my very determined and insane husband gets up at 4:20 to be at the gym

by 5. then he falls asleep on the floor playing with kids in the

evenings. ;-)

Kim, the older I get the more sleep I seem to need. I used to stay up half the

night, get up early, and now realize how exhausted I was and didn't even know

it! There's also new studies linking lack of sleep to weight gain - more

incentive to get some extra zzzzzz's!

I work evenings, so most of the time I go to sleep at 1:00am and wake up at

7:00am. It's fairly retarded but I've been doing it for years. I do have the

luxury of a post-workout nap though. So, I'll come home from the gym, drink

a recovery shake and go back to bed for up to an hour or two if I'm feeling

sleepy. On my days off I usually get to bed earlier. Then I might get 8

hours in a row plus a nap.

when my daughter was younger I got in the habit of working out in the

morning. It was the only time I could fit it in and the habit stuck.

I'm usually in bed by 10:30, asleep by 11:00, and up between 5:00-5:30

on weekdays. I've been trying to get to bed sooner, but it just

doesn't happen.

I go to bed at 10:30, since I have to get up at 6:30--I have found that I HAVE

to get 8hours during a challenge, or I will get sick.

Wake up and Bedtime Hours

What time do all of you wake up for workouts, and go to bed to make

sure you get up in the morning?

[Guest guest]

I really struggle with this. 4 days a week I work 12+ hours and don't get home

until 8 or 8:30, but I just cannot force myself to work out at 6AM. I know it

really is my choice, but so far I have chosen to get up only long enough to

reset the alarm. I work out earlier on the weekends, but am still working out at

night on the weekdays. I know it is not as effective, but I guess it's better

than nothing. Last night I did my HIIT on the heavy bag at about 8:00 and really

slept well.

I believe that some people's biological clocks are set for later hours (like

mine). If anyone knows how to effectively alter this, I would be interested in

knowing.

During the school year it's a no brainer. My kids' first period

begins at 7:40am so I'm in the gym by 7:30, right after I drop them

off. In the summer and for school breaks it is more tricky. I must be

working out by 5am at the latest in order to get showered, etc.

before anyone else in the family wakes up and has the chance to

sabotage my workout efforts.

Stuff always comes up though, and I miss workouts. I eat clean 95% of

the time so the missed workouts don't matter. Sometimes all I can do

is a really intense afterburn type circuit of all bodyparts spread

over two days, with cardio on the same day. No harm done there.

BFL has been sometimes a two steps forward, one step backward thing

for me. All in all, it has been more progress than failure because

the mirror can vouch for that. I cannot tell people often enough how

important it is to give BFL plenty of time to work its magic.

I've been trying to keep these hours as well. It's just so hard to

get up that early if you have to travel outside the home. Do the two

of you workout at home?

Yes it's definitely much easier to workout during those times. The

only problem is that my gym is crowded during those hours with SAHM,

people on lunch, ect. The only guaranteed way to have less activity

in the gym is to wake up early. I've also read your burn more fat

with early morn workouts. Not sure how true that is though. ---

Actually we don't. We go to the gym at the Naval Base where I work, its

about 10 minutes from the house. I think it helps too that we live in

Florida, so its not all cold and snowy outside in the morning. If it snowed

here....I think I would have to workout at home! LOL.

That's the problem I have here. It is FREEZING that early in the

morning, and it takes a real commitment to crawl out the bed, and

feel that cold air before I'm fully awake. lol

I hate to sound like a jerk, but I get up to do my workout because it's just

what I have to do. There is no other option. It was really hard last week,

'cause I was having problems sleeping, but for me it's just what has to be done,

period. I will admit that I sometimes convince myself by planning a nap later in

the day.

Working together, setting goals and rewards.either on a calendar or on your

refrigerator, this is how we stayed motivated. Every week (after our weight

and tape) we set a goal/reward for the following week. Small things, things

that help us stay motivated; even if it is just something that we want to

do, a wine tasting, a concert, a new restaurant. This week we decided that

on week four we would pull out our favorite pair of jeans that didn't fit

when we started.We get up in and make sure we eat right and work out in

order to obtain those goals. Due to a medical condition, I am currently not

working; however I get up in the morning to help my friend achieve her

goals. She helps me with eating habits and we keep each other focused.

Until we can shake of f the shackles of hatred and intolerance, our own

ignorance will continue to blind us.

Your friend is fortunate to have someone like you by her side, and

you both are definitely off to a great start. There is nothing like

a sexy pair of jeans.
