I've worked out hard in the past, and I'm still in fairly decent shape ... but I feel like my body is saying 'what have you done for me lately?!' I am working 6pm to 6am currently and am having a hard time getting motivated. Anyone want to give advice or motivate? Thanks and much love!

    With that kind of work schedule, I could only do it if I worked out BEFORE work, b/c after work I'd be too dang tired. If you can do it, so that you get up an hr or so earlier, that might help. Long days make it rough.

    I work the same schedule and go to school part time. I'm also going to be trying my lot as a soccer coach. I'm hoping to take up snow boarding this winter, so I want my legs to be able to handle it. I'm motivated to move, but get extremely hungry for meat of some sort after wards. I say take up a sport of some sort to keep movin, Try somethin new. I've recently taken up jogging to keep movin, and found that I really like it, maybe somethin new may help for you, it is for me thus far.

    As a fellow night shifter, I recommend a 24/7 gym. When I try to workout at home, I fail, yet the thought of paying for a gym membership and not using it just makes me cringe. Good luck to you.
