anyone have trouble walking without being tired?

Its good that you are pushing yourself to get out and walk. I think it gets easier. It'll depend on your fitness level, but eventually it does get easier. When I first started I really had to push myself. Now I feel weird if I don't exercise- I think its because that is when I get all my frustrations out. I actually crave physical activity now. Keep pushing yourself, you will get there. Do you do your workouts in the morning or evening? Even though i am really sleepy in the morning, I feel like a morning workout really wakes me up and give me more energy during the day. Keep it up! Also keep your sleep schedule in check. Get good sleep, and make it at the same time each day. That helps, too. Best of luck to you!

I think we all feel a little of this at the beginning. The best way to start something is to just get up and go do it. If you have a lunch break, pick a spot 5 minutes away and walk there and back. Take a 20 min walk after dinner. Don't expect to do it all on the first day, but get started somewhere! You can do it, and the more small steps you take, the easier they will get, and the better you'll feel

Yes, I started out feeling this way, too... vitamins helped a lot (I take One a Day Women's Active Mind & Body), and it got easier. I will also say that I took a couple weeks off (I was on vacation, and then just lazy for a week!!) but once I started back to it, it was fine... I even started the C25K program today (Couch to 5k... its a program that has you walk and jog at small intervals and increase by week) which I never thought I'd be able to do!

So, to answer your question, yes, I felt that way, too, but trust me, it does get easier!! Good Luck!!

When I first started my walks, I was walking maybe twenty minutes at a time, less than a mile. I was almost 300 pounds, and though the walks energized me emotionally, they left me physically drained. I pushed thru it, and my walks got longer and longer, faster and faster and I got smaller and smaller, and still for the longest time I felt drained after the walks. Now I walk four miles every single day in under an hour, and I no longer feel tired at all after my walks. In fact, it seems that when I miss my morning walk (or exercise routine) is the only time I feel I'm dragging butt all day. It's definitely become a crucial part of my day to keep me energized. So just stick with it and I know you'll feel the difference soon. Good luck!

Pace yourself...take it at your own speed...i use my ipod and it helps me forget about the time and i kinda zone out..or at the gym you can watch tv? i sometimes take these green tea caplets that help give me a great burst of energy!! and not the shakey overdone evergy either.... lots of water helps!! just try and stay positive girlie!
