The best time to exercise

I had a conversation recently with someone about the best time of day to exercise. There is, of course, not a single answer to this question - it varies by individual. Anyway, I said that I previously liked to exercise first thing in the morning, because that way it's done for the day. But the current structure of my life makes that difficult, as my mornings are full of taking care of a 2 year old.

Today, my plan was to exercise this afternoon - sometime between 2 ish and 4 ish. I had to be at the Thrift Store (where I volunteer) from 10 - 12, after which I was planning to meet a group of ladies for lunch to celebrate the birthday of one of them (who is turning 95!) So I thought that after lunch I would get in workout 2 of week 2.

The weather, unfortunately, had other plans. It started snowing shortly before I left for the Thrift Store, and continued for over 8 hours. By 2 PM, it was quite deep and still coming down. So it definitely wasn't a good day for an outdoor workout! And I suppose, in hindsight, the best time to exercise today was this morning, before the snow started!
