I am EXHAUSTED. I did about 25 minutes of VERY LOW impact cardio, and burnt like 170 calories. I need to do more, but I am so tired today! Not from exercising, just in general. Its been a pretty lazy day, its raining out, and ive mostly been sitting inside reading... :P
How can I boost up energy so i can at least get another 15 minutes of exersise in? or is it okay to skip it for a day?

    If your tired, take the night off. You definitely don't want to overdo it. Maybe your body is just trying to tell you it needs a rest? Plus, the 15 minutes you already did is definitely better than nothing!!

    I was thinking the exact same thing. Only thing is that I am going to make myself get up and do something while my kids are doing baseball practice tonight. I know that once I get out there and start I won't feel tired. I will when I get home but that is ok :smile:

    So join me...get up and do it. You will feel better afterwards. :flowerforyou:

    I was feeling the same way today. Didn't really feel like exercising but forced myself to do it and ended up working out for 120 minutes! I felt so much better after my workout, glad I didn't skip.

    But if your body is tired, you may need a rest.

    Another option is some relaxed yoga or stretching. It's really good for you, burns a few calories and doesn't feel like exercise.

    Btw. Your profile picture is great. : )

    When I feel totally exhausted I try and make an effort to do a light workout--usually I forget about being tired halfway through and I end up sleeping really well so I'm not as tired the next day.

    Also, I'm not sure if you're eating all of your allotted calories, but it really makes a difference if you do (including exercise cals).

    Good luck!

    I'm totally exhausted but I think it is because I'm not getting enough calories. Good luck and hang in there.
