I've heard both ways ... some doctors say morning, some say evening. I've put a lot of advice from Dr. Mehmet Oz (You: On a Diet and other You books) into practice that seems to work for me. He says morning exercise jump starts your metabolism and keeps it revved for up to 24 hours, which helps to lose weight. Meh. We go with whatever works for our schedules at the moment and the weather. Probably when it gets cooler we'll do more evening workouts ... right now it's still about 95-100 degrees with humidity at 7pm. We prefer outside workouts for cardio so until it gets to be 73 degrees (which is how blessedly cool it was this morning at 5) in the evening, I just gotta suck it up and get to bed earlier ... bleh :)
I like the stretching idea. I'll give it a try tonight. I assume it helps you sleep better? -----Original Message----- From: Erika L.

Not the morning. You are giving up too much sleep by doing it first thing in the morning, and that will set you for failure down the road when you hit that snooze bar one too many times. I try to hit the gym between the hours of 4-7pm. It's a good part of the day. And if the family doesnt like it, tell them TOO BAD, because your health is important if that family wants you around a long time. ;) I also highly recommend about 15-20 minutes of stretching before bed. Just nice quiet stretching. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:240765 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
