Really Tired after exercise

strivingforhealth

I try to work out once or twice a day, by 3 o'clock I can barely keep my eyes open!!! Any adivce on how to gain my energy back, after working out?

Make sure you're hydrated. If I'm not hydrated enough when I start or don't drink enough during then I'm really lethargic after.

I'm usually really tired after working out so I make sure that I put some type of food in my system to give my body some energy.

Are you eating enough? And is it healthy food? Food = Energy. Healthy Food = More Energy. Are you drinking enough water? Are you getting enough sleep at night? How long have you been exercising at this intensity for? Maybe you should start out lighter and work your way up? Build up your resistance.

There isn't really enough info to go off of here for legitimate suggestions.

It sounds like maybe its dehydration! Just make sure to drink water before and during your workout. Plus, the more you exercise, the more sleep deprivation catches up to you, so you may have always been tired, and are only starting to realize it now. 7-9 hours, it will work wonders! (if any of us can find the time!)

Do you have days off? If you work out twice a day you might be pushing too hard. If you have ruled out the other suggestions (dehydration, proper nutrition, sleep, etc.) and are not pushing yourself too much, you might want to rule out medical conditions which lead to adrenal fatigue, hormone disruption, etc. Chronic stress drains the adrenals and some people actually should not exercise until the issue is resolved. Adrenal fatigue can cause weight gain and exercise only puts more stress on the body.
