I think it's probably best to work out in the morning to get it out of the way. My ultimate top tip is to drag yourself even if you have to roll yourself out of your bed and in to a sit-up - it's really not that bad once you start.
My attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.
