I got my elliptical trainer today! (yay) Just have to figure out how to put it together (boo).
I'm just wondering (as I've never seriously exercised before) what's generally the best time? I read you get more energy so I'm wondering should I get up earlier and do an hour in the morning? Or is after work fine?
You should do it when you will do it. It sounds like you might grow to hate it and stop if you have to get up early. If you will be consistent after work then that is the right time.

Maybe I should compromise and do half an hour in the morning and half an hour at night.
Since you say you are not an exerciser, do not start with an hour a day. Maybe 15-20 minutes at a moderate pace and gradually work your way up.
