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.
