I'm one of those people who loves working out in the morning — I try to get up at 5:15am to make it happen, not because I'm particularly virtuous, but because I've learned it's the one time of day when small children aren't asking me for snacks.
That said, some days don't go as planned, and evening workouts become my saving grace. When I'm super tired and can't dig deep for that intrinsic motivation, I rely on external motivation — especially from my Fitness First trainer, who helps me push through when I've had a long day and just want to collapse on the couch.
