Emma shows you how she navigates working the night shift in regards to exercise and staying fit. #gymafternightshift #nightshiftfitness

I’m watching Night shift RUclips videos now cause I’ve been on night shift for over 10months and gained so much weight 10kgs to be exact 😅😅😅😅I need change thank you for these videos
Thanks to those who requested we make this video. It has certainly kept me accountable on the days it all seemed too hard! We appreciate you checking out this video and supporting Dan and I. 🙏🙏
Great video. Let be honest… it sucks being on night shift. You manage it as best you can, but at the end of the day… it is very difficult and you always have tired days.
Thank you I’m going to work out when I wake up
Thanks for that video.
I personally try both. Before sleep and after sleep. I prefer after sleep. I could do it a day when i will work during the night or a day i will have my night off. And after a night shift i don’t feel to go to the gym.
I work 10pm-6am come home and sleep until 3pm then workout for roughly an hour and a half then chill or hang with friends until my next shift. I also get 3 days off a week
Hey do u follow the same routine in ur day off
@@haazilmuzammil9140 I actually do not I just go to bed later like 1-3ish then wake up at 12 pm

I do this. 7p-7a shift. at 9 i do pushups, 10 squats, 11 shoulder presses with a 35 lbs pig egg i made. repeat. 9, 12, 3, finish with pushups at 6 . I walk on a treadmill on my break. I do this to maintain my sugar levels at night because I am diabetic. on my days 4 days Off I lift. i work 8 on 2 off 2 on 2 off, repeat. I just do them right there at my nurse desk. I've done it so much everyone just thinks its normal for me now, lol. hell even some jump in on the exercises. thing is I was losing weight and now I've stalled at 260. got 50 more to lose. folks say I look like ive lost more weight but the scale isn't moving. I also maintained a steady 190 grams of protein, with about a 2500 cal daily intake. its rough though. I don't take any energy stuff, and caffeine makes me sleepy. so it doesn't work for me. I just tried to establish a routine and discipline instead of motivation because I am never motivated. working on sleep hygiene next since I don't get enough sleep.
My average work week is 3pm to close I end up coming home at 11pm and being awake just chilling but then I can't sleep. And end up staying up til like 4am cause insomnia..and then I wake up at like 11 but don't get up till later. And the house needs cleaned so while my roommate sits around playing games on their day off I'm cleaning the whole place my 2 days off a week and feeling like I'm working nonstop
That doesn't sound ideal at all! Sorry to hear you feel like you can't switch off. It's time for a bit of a job deligation I think - Good luck. (or hire a cleaner!)
I do all my meal prep the night before so I can gym during my lunch and eat at my desk
Hi Chesrae. Thanks for your comment. Sounds like you've worked out a great system for yourself.
@@theothershift Thank you 😊 Yes, through much struggling, trial and error I've found my own sweet spot that works for me
@@Chez114 That's all that matters. If trying to prioritise tasks, start with getting the sleep part right first. Then you'll have the motivation and energy to attack the next thing!
@@theothershift Ugggh... That's the part that I struggle with 😅 Thank you for your response
Its really difficult to be a night shifter
Thank youuu! I'm going to try to workout befire my 9 pm shift :)
You're welcome. Thanks for the support. To develop this habit might take a couple of weeks but before long you'll love your new routine!
Oh my gosh, you navigating to the bathroom with your eye mask is hilarious because that's probably exactly what I look like doing the exact same thing! Ha. Love your videos.
Hahaha This is no world of lie what it's like! Thanks for your kindness Christian

Thank you for this video!
You're welcome! Happy exercising!
Thank you!
I work nights and then work out when I get off. I shoo, socialize and do other things. I go to sleep in the afternoon at “ nap” time and sleep until shortly before my night shift. I can never figure out why people try to sleep when they get off work,

I'm completely with you. Staying awake after your night shift gives you a reward to look forward to and tike to relax. When I used to have my free time before shift, it felt more like borrowed time because I was always counting the hours before shift
I know this comment is a year old but did you still see results from working out at that time?
I work 12am-12pm 7 days straight then I get 7 days off where I switch to days. I'm kind of a first responder for aircraft engineering and support the world. I wonder, when is a good time to exercise? I tried it all but working out before is hard. I don't get to see much sunlight if I do and waking up is hard as I don't usually have solid sleep where I can optimize the window of time I'm off from work.
The struggle is real! I do 7 on 7 off - 8pm- 8am … I’m tired when I get off work but I try and workout right after my shift. I’ve found I sleep better bcz I’m literally exhausted. I’ve tried working out before work but I hate going to the gym when it’s crowded. I find if I go straight to bed after work I wake up around noon and can’t go back to sleep but since I didn’t sleep much I struggle to want to do anything but lay in bed and watch Netflix! Either way it’s a struggle - good luck
I dont know when to workout, before or after shift
I noticed my waistline and arms are getting fat. I essily get tired to work out
The hardest part is getting started and the first few workouts. Go slow. Find what you like doing (and not what's most popular) and develop some new habits. Good luck!
So its safe to do cardio exercise ? I thought its better for not doinh cardio so that we're not too exhausted when we work
Hi Ammaarza... Cardio exercise is a great way to wake the body and mind. If you were to complete 20-30 minutes each day, I think you'll find more energy output on night shift. Just don't do exercise to a point where it leads to exhaustion - start slowly and build.
Wow okay thanks!
That was just too much of an intro. You just spent 4 minutes talking nonsense instead of going straight into the point of the video.
Love this chick.
