I hear this question being asked alot. Well, is there really an answer to this question? I feel the best time of day is when the person actually commits to a time and follows thru with exercising. If morning is more convenient for you then that is what will work. If after work is the best time then go for it...
Our bodies naturally begin to have a sleepy time slump in the afternoon between 3:00-4:00 (siesta time), usually you begin to feel low on energy (and sometimes that has to do with what we have eaten thru the day and how our bodies are utilizing the food for energy). Night time exercising is fine as long as it is not too close to your bedtime because it may stimulate you too much and interfere with sleeping.
Just remember to exercise at least two hours after eating a big meal (so you don't feel sick due to your digestive system trying to compete with your muscles working out), and if you work out first thing in the morning try to drink some water prior to and eat a very small carbohydrate for energy, otherwise you may feel weak and dizzy. After a work out eat a healthy protein to help restore muscles.
There really is no "right" time of day (it depends on each individuals preference and energy levels).
Try to make it part of your day everyday if you can!
