Well i'll start by saying i work 12 hour shifts with an hour drive on either side. shifts are form 6:30-6:30, i do two weeks days then two weeks nights. when i'm on nights i have to workout before work as i am just too zonked when i get home. i need to set my alarm for 2pm and give up a bit of sleep to get the workout in but find it is worth it in the long run.0

I work 12s 3 nights a week with call, so it's really hard to schedule time to workout. On my first night of the week, I usually go in the morning so that I can go back to sleep before work. Once I've started working, I teach zumba 2 nights a week the hour before work. If i'm not teaching, I go to the gym then. It's easier to talk yourself into leaving home then to talk yourself into staying at the gym after work, in my opinion.0

Right now I've been trying to work out after work before I go home. I'm less likely to be able to wake up early and go work out.0

I too am really struggling to workout before/after a 12+ hour shift. After Seeing your posts I'm a bit more inspired to work out on work days. On my off days, I'm struggling with the lack of sleep & energy that comes with regularly flipping schedules so I can see daylight periodically. I guess it's no wonder why I've gained 10lbs over the last 6 months. Thanks for the advice.:happy:0

I work 7p-730a. I leave for work around 6, so I get up around 4, workout, shower and go. It works for me, I've done Insanity and Chalean Extreme before work. At first I used to be more tired at work because of it, but after I got used to it, I actually feel better!0
