Are you guys capable of working out when you're tired?

[Anonymous]

I don't get a lot of sleep, like 3-4 hours a day. I work 2 pretty full hour jobs. I really want to work out because I don't want my body to get used to a sedentary lifestyle but I'm completely beat when I get home. I constantly have that weird, "outside of my body" experience that comes with a lack of sleep. Any idea how I can push through? Do I just stop being a bitch or should I try and work on getting more sleep? Or a combination of both?

I am capable of doing it, however I believe you can always do better if you are in a better state of health.
Rest is as important as exercise tho, overworking your body will only work against you even tho you might still be able to pull it off.

I suggest listening to your body first, feel when you have a rise in energy, fatigue, feel good or feel you need the rest. Then take care of your body through proper nutrition and rest.
I dont work out to get in shape, I do it because my body needs some form of exercise and I need to release the stress.

I can relate, I get only a few hours of sleep also, and some days im really not motivated to go to the gym. I take a little nap between my workout and work, and usually the drive over I can jam out and pump myself up so it dosnt affect my workout too bad.

Beat my PB last night on 4 hours sleep, and after a 11 hour shift behind a bar on a Friday night, serving horny old men.

So yeah, I know the feels hun. If I figure out a cure to sleepiness, I'll hit you up haha

Get more sleep and then buy yourself an Isokinator. This will allow you to work out anywhere you are, without the need to do a warm up and it will save you time.

It's not really a good idea, you won't get good gains without rest. It's kind of like running your computer all day long for a month. Until you reboot it it'll run slow no matter how much you upgrade the ram.

That is a tough one - Maybe incorporate your exercise into your job - Cycle/jog to work - Gym/jog during lunch

Lack of sleep will kill you so don't fuck around with that. What you should do is live in poverty, learn a trade, and earn a job that pays more than both of those jobs you work now.

When totally tired I often have to FORCE myself.
Afterwards though I am always happy that I did.

A combination of both, not enough sleep is an extremely serious health issue that shouldn't be taken lightly so you should fix that first

Dude i know how hard that can be... maybe you can try light exercises at work, jumping jaxx, squats and pushups in small sets.

[Decentguy]

i didn't slept for 3 days straight because of insomnia and i still worked out in the gym with heavy weights

[goodmood]

No, and even if you do, you won't see results. You need sleep if you wanna build muscles

I too am too tired lately for real work out. So I reduced to 10-20 push ups dayly to just keep my fitness. If I feel good, I do more.

[Mesonfielde]

Get more sleep or your brain will die

[Fearless_banana]

Nah I need sleep to train.

Mortgage, bills, and student loans sure are a bitch.
