Title: Working Out when Sleep Deprived
Post by: Thin Lizzy on March 03, 2014, 08:31:16 AM
I go back and forth on this one.

You have a night when, for one reason or another, you get like two hours sleep.

If you have a workout scheduled, do you do it?

No use attempting a workout if you feel like the walking dead. The body is going to be at two speeds, slow and stop, and not only does the workout suffer but you bodies recovery ability's also.

Take a few day off, you probably have earned it. Let the body heal and get back in it's natural groove.

Good Luck

No.

Way too little sleep.

Maybe yes if 5hrs depending on the individual but 2-3? No. Get some rest and reschedule.
