Is Squeezing in a Workout Helping or Hurting You When You’re Tired?

Welcome to House of Wellness, our hot new show with ReebokONE, in which we turn to leaders in the healthy-living movement and Reebok fitness experts to answer all of your burning questions.

That's pretty much the busy person's modern-day conundrum. But seriously—when you're feeling officially done-zo, is it helping or hurting to squeeze in that daily dose of sweat?
