How to Maximize Training While Working Full-Time

1.Get up and go

It’s sooo hard to feel motivated after a long day at work. Add on the fact that many people struggle to sleep after hard trainings, and you’re likely best off training before you go to work.

2. Meal prep for lunch AND dinner

Even if you are eating only one meal (and surely snacks) at work, you’re likely short on time for cooking healthy meals when you get home. A little (or a lot) of meal prepping can go a long ways!

3. Hydrate on the job!

And not just coffee!! I am terrible about this one, but when I finish a mega water bottle on my shift, I feel so much better!

4. Respect your breaks

Whether you are off for 15, 30 or 60 minutes, take the time to relax. Slamming in other tasks during your breaks will often backfire in exhaustion and burnout. Enjoy a cookie and a breather!

5. Be flexible and adaptable

Schedules change, and so too does or body’s ability to adapt to training. If you wake up feeling drained, it might be time to skip the planned workout. Surprise day off, take full advantage!
