I prefer the early afternoon, directly after school. That way there's still the warm of noon in the air, but I don't feel like eating.

I dislike running in the mornings, because it is often chill, and there are people about.

afyternnoon or evening^^

I like to work out (ply basketball) at night when there is solitude and tranquility and no witnesses to my work ethic.

After school.

i played from midnight til about 2am today, and i loved it. i was hitting some fade aways, that i haven't been allowed to use since i was 15 because of my old coach. i love solitude and basketball.

Hmmm....I used to be sooo active!
I'd do sprints, gymnastics and ballet in like grade 1 and 2
long jump, high jump, modern dancing in like grade 5 onwards then I stopped and moved on to do cross country, middle distance, modern/jazz/hip-hop dancing.
After that I stopped and just did dancing, then I added squash to the list.
And now? Absolutely nothing! I've just started gyming again which should hopefully help with fitness levels again. As for when, usually in the afternoons but with exams the time really varies. I don't do it everyday but I do it a minimum of 3 times a week and for about an hour each time.

Really? Interesting...

I'd just stick with running... it's something you can do through your entire life, even when your limbs and joints have gotten too old and rheumatic to dance.

you need to do some strength training to go with that conditioning.

Yeah. That's why the coach has us lift weights every other day, and we do abs every day after the runs.

Well... I love to play Football (soccer) at 6 PM more or less.... (I think in USA it's different, but here we eat around 9 PM)
I also do High Jumping, Running, and all those kind of things in school, in gym hours... I go to Gym after school (5PM) for around 2 hours...
and I'd love to play Basketball (you may say: "with that nickname, he must be TOO short to play Basketball", but actually, to my age, I'm very tall lol)
