If you tend to exercise in the early morning before work [1], more power to you. But if you're looking to mix things up, try working out in the evening. Here are some reasons why:

• You'll have more time to devote to your workouts, since you won't feel rushed to have to make an appointment or get to work.
• Other people are usually free at this time, so you'll be able to have a motivating workout buddy.
• Dinner is over, so you'll be fueled up already and have energy to move. Plus, exercising after eating will curb your cravings so you're less likely to snack before bed.
• If you work out at a gym, this time of day is usually less crowded, so you won't have to wait to use equipment.
• It'll help you clear your mind so you can have a restful night of sleep.

Fit's Tips: Try to make your workouts end at least an hour before you plan on hitting the sheets, otherwise you may be too wound up to fall asleep.
