Work Schedules & Exercise

  • So my work shedule is really funky. I much prefer exercising in the a.m., but often do not have the time OR do not make the time when I have it because I'm tired.

    Any suggestions, or personal experiences with balancing odd work hours and healthy exercise?

    I would prefer morning exercise too, but I also prefer an early work schedule so choose the latter. I have found that, for me, the ONLY way to get in the exercise is to do it immediately after work. Either I stop at the pool/gym on the way home or come home and immediately go climbing our gigantic hill, or whatever. I am exhausted after work and if I come home and sit down first, the exercise will never happen.

    I just have to give it a priority and make it happen, or it won't. I am not always successful, I admit, but I try to keep up with regular workouts

  • I work 4pm to midnight. My job has a gym, so I've been using the treadmill there every day after work. Making it part of my daily routine like that really works for me, similar to what Misti said.
  • Thanks for your replies, and you are right about it being a priority
