OMG! I have been working out for a long time off and on. This week more off than on. I always hear how working out gives you more energy. I have to disagree. After some work outs I am tierd as heck. I will admit that the times I shy away from working out I feel cruddy but I worked out this morning and I have been lazy all day. Does anyone else feel my pain? Or can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. 21 mins of recumbent bike cycling with resistance on 13 and 20 mins on the treadmill with off and on incline up to 10 @ 3.5 mph should not hurt so bad:yawn:

    Are you taking in enough calories and protein? That coul be it.

    if you aren't eating enough protein, working out will wipe you out!! You should be eating protein at every meal and try to time your workouts so that you have a meal after the workout.

    Yeah, I feel that way when I don't eat enough.

    It sounds like you're either not eating enough or not eating GOOD things or you aren't allowing enough time to recover between work outs.

    I think you all are right. I have been eating good things, but i'm not sure if I am eating enough. I am only allowed 1200 cals a day plus my workouts but it is hard for me not to go over. I usually go over in my protein every day. I don't know. I worked out today and I am hurting but I actually feel o.k now. not so tired? My legs are on fire, they began to shake during my squats. Give me some good ideas on healthy meal options. I sometimes get board with the ones I choose.
    Thanks:smile:
