Tired After Working Out... Why?

My trainer says you know it's a good workout when you want to take a nap about an hour later.
Also, you wont feel the energy directly after you workout, and not immediately when you start finally hitting it.
It takes 2-3 weeks for your body to adjust to the new routine and not be tired all the time.
Then you'll start noticing you have more energy throughout the day.
THEN you'll start craving/needing exercise to function properly
You're doing great!
Well said! Body must adjust but pre-workout meal and post-workout meal is vital0 -
Pretty much what others said regarding snacks after, hydration, protien with the addition of sleep. Your overall energy will not improve and your body won't recover enough unless you get enough sleep, min of 7-8 hrs good sleep! I know because I've not been able to sleep and when I have its been crummy for the last week!0
