Let me start off by saying I am by no means a morning person. The habit I got into when doing P90X I have carried over to while doing Slim in 6. In the morning I would do the Ab Ripper X program (it's only 16 minutes) and this way my afternoon would just be the regular work out. This way I was not completely spent by the time I got to Ab Ripper X. Studies have shown that if you get some form of exercise in the morning, you are more likely to rev up your metabolism. So now 3 days a week I do an AM Yoga program by Rodney Yee and the other 2 days I do Slim 6 Pack. Basically do what best works for you. As far as eating I try to eat something at least 1 hour before working out. On days that I did Plyometrics I would bump it out to 1.5 to 2 hours before. After, try and have a recovery drink with in 1 hour of working out. Something with a 4 to 1 Carb to Protein ratio. Hope this helps, Stu SilverMitch,

My wife has being doing X and prefers night. I drag in the evening time. I LOVE doing X in the morning. The only one I do in the evening is Yoga because it is an hour and a half. Also, its good to workout in the morning to jump start your metabolism for the day. If you do it in the morning, I usually don't eat until right after working out. This is a great time because your body is best suited to take what it needs from the foods within a half hour of working out. If you do it at night, I would not eat within and hour of exercising, maybe even two hours on Plyometrics days. Let me know if you have any other questions.
