    Default Exercise before stripping?

    I haven't hit the gym this week and I want to do it either tomorrow or Saturday, but I am working both nights this weekend. I was wondering, who works out before they strip? I'm working 7:30-3am but I feel like I could do a light work out, mostly abs and some arms.

    Any opinions? Thoughts? Recommendations? I've heard different opinions on this idea. Some people say you should save all your energy for work - others the opposite.

    thats totally personal, i think. it depends how YOU feel after you exercise. do you have more energy? or will you personally be worn out for work? it's different for everyone i think.

    I HIGHLY recommend a workout before work. Doesn'thave to be intense...but do something. eEven just stretchign or yoga and 15 minutes on the treadmill. It makes you feel as if you've acomplished somethign positive for your looks, which boosts confidance. It energizes you and gets you pumped up for work. It also will temporarily make you looked more toned and tightened slightly.

    A light workout before getting ready fr work should be on the list of things to do to get ready for work, IMO. It's huge for me, and helps increase my sales a lot, just by feeling positive and good about myself.

    I preferred stretching, some yoga, couple of crunches. Just stuff around the house.

    If you can handle it, go for it. Stretching is good. Besides that, I am way too sore and tired between shifts to go for a full workout. I save all my energy for work.

    I really recommend it.

    I try to do about 10 min of gentle stretching and about 10-15 min of free weights at a few pounds less than what I normally would lift. I find it perks me up and makes my muscles feel just a little tighter before work. I usually just do one of the workouts in the Body Sculpting Bible for Women but don't repeat the sets as much either. I don't want to be too sore during work.

    I've found that a couple of crunches or weights makes me feel tighter and leaner at work, but a full-on workout would make my legs give out beneath me in 6" heels, lol.

    Be careful when you work your arms if you do pole tricks. You don't want your arms to give out on you when you are upside down or eight feet off the ground. I think it's a great idea to work out before work. I don't think you need to worry about "saving your energy for work," I've always found exercise gives me more energy.

    Going to the gym before work is just part of my routine. I shower there and then get my hair done for work at a lady's house who lives behind the gym. I work out super hard, but I am used to it. I also only work a 4-5 hour shift. Like Britt said, you have to figure out what works for you. I just know I am going to feel sexier after an intense workout. Plus, it is habit.

    I pretty much require a workout before work. I get really cranky when I don't workout, and when I exercise a couple of hours before work I feel energized, toned and sexy. The only day that is a struggle is Friday (today, blah) because I have already worked out 4 times during the week, plus worked 2 long shifts, so I wake up sore and stiff. I still workout on Fridays before work, I just let myself soak in the hot tub at the gym afterwards. It works wonders.

    I recommend a light workout before your shift with LOTS of stretching- maybe pilates or yoga if you're into that. You'll probably feel better.

    em... no. I'll stretch before work, but that's about it, going to work IS my workout, I work 8 hour shifts and am on stage usually every 30 minutes, if I worked out before work, I would have no energy.

    I like to work out in the AM before my day starts. Get to the gym, shower, do whatever chores or errands need to be done, nap, then go to work.

    I know a lot of celebs work out before red-carpet events because they look more toned and lean if they are fresh from hitting the gym.

    ^I really envy that PCQ!!! Sounds perfect to me. But I can't exercise until I've been up a minimum of 5 hours, and eaten @ least 1 full meal. And I can never take naps, EVER. Can't fall asleep for 2 hours, and when I do, can't get up in a timely fashion. So it gets really hard for me to go the gym before work with time constraints bc I'm sucha loser. But gym before work is ideal for me personally, never looked at work as a subsitute. (Sorry Tempest I know I'm repeatin myself.)

    I always work out before I go to work and yes, it gives me more energy and makes me feel toned and hot. I also go on stage once a night if that, so my work is not really a work out at all.

    My last club we went on stage 8-10 times a night, shifts were 8-10 hours and dances were air dances. In that case I would just stretch and do ab work before I went in cuz working was exhausting enough.

    I've tried working out before work and it just made me not want to go to the club when I was done. I felt like I had done enough physical work for the day. Ofcourse I am a very active stage performer and do mostly high energy shows with lots of polework so that probably effects my point of view.

    I prefer to workout on days that I am not going to be going to the club.

    Yeah every place I work has 8-10 hour shifts and stage work every 30minutes or so. It sounds like stretching and ab work it is!!

    I respect those of you who can work out before work!

    i don't do well in the gym unless i've been up a while. i actually like doing it after work.

    when i can, i like to do a little light weights, stretching, and some cardio before work, but just enough to get the blood flowing, not a real workout. it's too early.

    I'll do a Pilates video before work, sometimes or stretch out a bit. I have an hour drive and tend to get crunched up in the car. Mostly though, no.
