This is Day 11 of the 21-Day Fitness Challenge held in Feb 2012. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.
Hello and welcome to Day 11 (Feb 13) of the 21-Day Fitness Challenge! :D
Day 11 – What is Your Favorite Time To Exercise?
Today’s question is: What is your favorite time to exercise?
Knowing your favorite exercising time(s) of the day, then setting them aside in your calendar for exercising, increases the likelihood that you’ll accomplish your fitness sessions.
For me, my favorite time to exercise is in the morning, before I start off the day. I like mornings because they are cooling, so I don’t feel like I’m on fire while working out!
Another reason is because it helps to give my day a strong start. Knowing I’ve completed my fitness session(s) for the day gives me a huge boost of mental satisfaction and physical energy. This then allows me to go about my daily tasks without worrying how to fit in my exercises later.
How about you? What is your favorite time to exercise? And how can you schedule that for your exercise sessions from today onwards?
(PS: I’m writing this post while I’m working out in the gym! Now how is it possible that we have no time to exercise when all of us are given the same amount of time every day? It’s all a matter of how we work it into our schedules and how we leverage on technological tools to make the best out of our time each day! Got to love technology and how it’s expanding possibilities!)

I do not really know what my favorite time for exercise is. I haven’t tried doing it in the morning yet, but I have an idea that would be a good idea. I like getting up early and doing what’s important to me before I go to work for the day, so that would be a great idea. Right now I’m just exercising before supper most of the time.
My exercise for the day was a body weight workout which involved doing 6 different exercises for 30 seconds each, then a 1 minute break, and then repeating this cycle of four minutes two more times. I finished my 20 minutes off with a 8 minute walk, and then stretched for 5-10 minutes.
I love morning walks and used to enjoy evening workouts at the gym when I belonged to a gym. Alot of my challenge right now is to schedule in time for what I want to do. I surprised myself yesterday by registering 5.6 miles of walking while doing volunteer service with my son. That felt great!
