Anybody else work overnights full time? I work 8p-9a Friday, Saturday, Sunday. I do strength training at work no problem because i have tons of time to kill. When do you fit in your cardio? Before, after, on your break?

    I worked night shift for several years. I mostly exercised right after work in the morning. If I was too tired after work I'd just go home and sleep then exercise right after I woke up. I found it difficult to exercise right before work since I started at midnight.

    Ive been doing the same thing. Usually I'll do cardio right after work, especially since its summer and way cooler here at nine am than after i wake.

    Do i still get the full benefit of my workout if i sleep right after?
