Working out while fatigued

[Guest guest]

As a firefighter I work 24 hours on duty, then 48 hours off. Yesterday

was my on-duty shift. Occasionally we have easy nights where I get a

full night's sleep, but more commonly we have nights like last night.

Enough said.

I got up from my bunk at the firehouse this morning, headed to the

gym, and got my cardio workout done just as planned. What I noticed is

that I had a tough time getting my heart rate up to the same levels

I've had on my best workouts. I can't decide if it's the fatigue or

the fact that I was hungrier than usual after waiting for the gym to

open at 8:00 on a Saturday.

I'm glad I got it done, I do feel like I put out my best effort, I

just don't know that I got the benefit that I have before.

I've got some free time today. I'm thinking a nap is in order!

Thanks,

Tristen Cruz
