Sleepy after exercising ?

Lets_get_going

Is it just my laziness trying to bump me off the track? Or is it something more to it? I exersice and towards the end of it I start getting really sleepy and feel extremely tired even if the exercises aren't really that tiring... Please tell me I'm not the only one this is happening to

Make sure you have a little healthy snack before exercising. And one after. Sounds like you are having some blood sugar issues??

blood sugar. protein bar or some carbs before hand is best. try a pria or luna bar.

This has happened to me a couple of times, but I wasn't getting enough sleep. Are you getting at least 7 - 8 hours of sleep most nights?

Exercising release endorphins and should make you feel good and energized.

Are you eating enough to fuel your workouts?

Make sure you are eating enough carbs to fuel your workout.

But I will tell you that I too get very tired after working out. So, I do my hard workouts before going to bed. I work out, take my shower, and I sleep strong for 6 hours without interruption. The best sleep of my life.

I don't think it's sleep. I get plenty of sleep, I start out very energized and then it just goes downhill. I'll try having a snack before the exercise maybe that will help... thanks.
