When I was in school, I worked out a couple times per week with a friend. Once, another friend named Jason joined us. And I do emphasize ONCE.
I just cant motivate myself to work out, Jason told us. The only way I can is if I listen to the music from Rocky.
We both laughed at him for a bit. But then I figured: So what?
If Jason had to hear Eye Of The Tiger to get psyched up, was there anything wrong with that?
If it works for you, go for it.
I work out in the morning. Always. And I usually recommend the same for everyone else. But if you find you can only get rolling in the evening " go for it.
Some people can't eat before a workout - I prefer not to. But maybe a little food helps you.
I also like a warmer gym. Some people like to blast the air conditioning. I like heavy clothing when exercising, others go for spandex.
The key point here is to stop thinking, I can only do such and such in a BAD way. Whatever conditions allow for you to succeed " make sure you follow them. If you need air conditioning, loud music, and heavy sweat pants to get a great workout at night, do that every time. If you prefer to sweat in lycra with dead silence in the morning air, stick to that.
Listening to Gonna Fly Now can't hurt either. - 16004
