Shift Into Strength

Your nursing shift is already busy. But hidden within the hustle and bustle are tiny opportunities to sneak in some strength training. No extra time needed.

Your Action for Today
Incorporate 1-2 strength exercises into your shift. Consider these ideas:
  • Hallway lunges: Walking to another patient? Try lunging down the hallway as you go.
  • Calf raises while charting: Standing still while charting? Add in some calf raises. Stand tall, lift your heels off the ground, and hold for a few seconds before lowering them back down.
  • Squats during restroom breaks: After you use the bathroom, spend 1 minute doing squats. No equipment needed.

These small efforts can add up throughout your shift, giving you a strength boost without disrupting your workflow. By the end of the day, you'll have accomplished more than just patient care; you'll have taken care of yourself, too.
