Text me what you thought of the show 😊
Think hitting the gym after a night shift is a good idea? It might be doing more harm than good. In this episode, we explore why high-intensity workouts post-shift can disrupt your sleep, stress your system, and slow your recovery — even if your intentions are solid.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why late-night or post-shift workouts can backfire
- The link between fatigue, injury risk, and poor recovery
- How exercise timing affects appetite and sleep
- Better alternatives to stay active without burning out
- Why lower-intensity movement and pre-shift workouts work better
- When to prioritise rest over pushing through
If you’re a shift worker trying to balance fitness, fatigue, and real recovery, this one’s for you.
