Exercising on and off shift can take a lot of motivation and discipline.

FAQs

  • First, no one needs to be in rhabdo on shift. Be smart and listen to your body. Give 60%-70% while working out on shift so you know that you'll have plenty in the tank for "the big call". Save those “new PR” workouts for days when you're not on shift but still get a decent workout in.

    Second, make sure you hydrate and feed the machine following your workout. Getting a good meal as soon as possible following a workout will help keep you prepared for the demands of being on duty.

  • A good starting point would be at least two days of full body resistance training and 120-180 minutes of cardio per week. However, this ultimately depends on your fitness goals. Contact your peer support team and they can give you a customized recommendation.
