Advice on how to maintain a workout routine when working a lot of hours? I got into a good routine last month but my project picked up— I’m not a morning person and now I’m too tired at night. I don’t want to ruin my progress!

mornings are the easiest way, TBH. or can you workout at lunch ? 2-3 mornings a week [and weekends]. you need to wake up 45-60 minutes earlier. that’s it.

Try an alarm like Alarmy — I used to struggle in the mornings and this helped a lot. Makes you complete an activity or puzzle before it’ll deactivate. By the time you do it, you’re much more awake and therefore motivated.

Not perfect at this, but I find working out just before or after work (no lag time!) as an extension of the work day does it for me. No matter how tired I am, knowing that my day is not “complete” without at least getting 20-30 mins in motivates me enough. Good luck!

I usually workout about an hour after dinner during the week and during weekends about an hour after breakfast. It’s not ideal but it’s better than nothing for me.

On weeknights when I feel tired, I sometimes cheat and workout for 30 mins instead of an hour. Any movement is better than no movement!

OP, personal opinion, a lot of people that have difficulty working out in the morning don't go to bed early enough and don't stick with it long enough to make it a habit. Make sure you're going to bed early enough to get enough sleep and try and stick with it for a month.

Yeah I def don’t get enough sleep. It doesn’t help that my husband is a night owl like me. I should definitely try to break my habit of waking up at the last possible moment

Also- block the time out on your calendar! My team encourages this, so I have every morning from 6:30-8am blocked for working out. If something comes up I am flexible but it sets a precedent and seeing it on my calendar reminds me that it is a priority, I attend my workout times like I attend meetings :)

One day I can skip my meetings for workouts

Good idea! My team is def flexible and can probably make it a thing for most days.

if you can’t go to the gym, go for a walk. you want to still build the habit of doing some type of exercise. once you keep pushing yourself to go workout, it will be easier to fall asleep.

if you’re tired mentally, your body can handle the workout. every time I train the coach says when your body tells you you’re tired, there’s still energy left for you to go.
take small steps. light walks, 10 min mini workouts.

when you wake up maybe some jumping jacks and crunches. lunch time maybe some squats.

chloe ting workouts are the bomb and short. you don’t always need 30 mins.

you got it

This past Wednesday (the 24th), was 3 years of sobriety for me.

In 15 years of weekend binge/blackout drinking, NEVER had I gone more than 3 weeks without a drink (typically never more than 1 weekend without a drink), and now my sobriety is counted in years (though still one day at a time).

I am beyond grateful and I know that this is something I could never do on my own.
