I work rotating 12-hour day and night shifts, and one thing I’ve always found difficult is keeping a consistent gym routine when my schedule constantly changes. Some weeks I’ve loads of time to train, other weeks it’s a struggle to fit anything in between work, sleep and everything else. I’m looking into how other shift workers deal with this, particularly people trying to build muscle, lose weight or just stay fit. A couple of things I’m curious about: - What’s the biggest thing stopping you from training consistently around your shifts? - Have you found a routine or system that actually works for you? I’m exploring an idea to make planning workouts around shifts easier, but before I go any further, I’d love to hear what people actually struggle with. Even if you’ve completely given up on the gym because of your shifts, I’d be interested to hear why.   submitted by   /u/joshyneutron101 [link]   [comments]
