A Healthy Shift

Text me what you thought of the show 😊

Ever wonder how to fit exercise around your busy shift work?" 

That question birthed my own journey back to health and wellness after an exercise hiatus, and I'm thrilled to share my experiences in this episode. 

As a certified nutritionist, veteran law enforcement officer, and long-time shift worker, I've battled with the same struggle.    It's not about getting the perfect abs or losing weight, but about finding joy in moving your body and making it a habit. One personal training session a week helped me get back on track, and from there, I've gradually added more sessions. 

Don't miss this exploratory chat on the significance of movement for shift workers-- it's not just about what type of exercise you do, but finding what works best for you and sticking to it. 

Consistency is the key

I'll explain the benefits of resistance training, which goes beyond building and/or maintaining muscle to increasing insulin sensitivity.    Plus, the importance of quality sleep and the role caffeine can play in your pre workout. 

I explore creating a Plan B when life inevitably interrupts your exercise routine, and share how to balance a fulfilling personal life alongside shift work. 

Join me on this journey of fitness, wellness, and fun; 

Remember, it's about moving your body, finding your happy place, and having a blast doing it.
