For years I’ve been helping patients completely eliminate tiredness after workouts and it’s time you found out my secret.

I’m a nutritionist helping people solve their health problems, many which are related to nutrition.

Patients Who Aren’t Tired After Workouts

Before I give you the secret, I’d like you to read a testimonial from one of my patients. I received this just last week.

“I’ve been religiously working out at the gym for the past 3 weeks.
I feel the best I’ve felt in years! Thanks for encouraging me to start
exercising. You’re the first healthcare practitioner who helped me
understand that there are times when we shouldn’t exercise and
other times when we should and our body would tell us when to
start. I heard my body tell me it was time to start and now I’m
reaping the benefits.” – Ms. Larsen

Well, this testimonial brings up a few important points for you regarding your tiredness after workouts.

1.  Are You Exercising Too Much?
2.  Are You Exercising Too Little?
3. Did You Wait For Your Body to Tell You To Exercise?

Are You Exercising Too Much?

If you’re exercising too much, it’s a sure way to develop tiredness after workouts.

Your body can only do so much working out before it has to rest.

If you exceed the threshold that your body can handle, you’ll have tiredness after workouts.

The problem with exercising too much is that the circulation is increased dramatically and all the extra oxygen from the aerobic activity has to be handled by the cells.

This adds something called oxidative stress to the body, which raises the heart rate at rest and adds physiological stress to the body by increasing free radicals too.

The problem is training your body to recognize that threshold.

Are You Exercising Too Little?

If you aren’t exercising at all, the first few times you go back to your regular workouts, you’ll experience tiredness. Do you know what defines exercising too little?

Would the best answer be:

a. four times a week
b. three times a week
c. twice a week
d. once a week
e. once a month

Your answer would be c, twice a week or less.

The fact is that you can exercise three times a week for about 42 minutes and it’s enough for the entire week.

You’ll get the benefits of exercise for your heart, skin, and the rest of your organs, as well as your physique with three quality sessions at the gym.

But if you go less than this, you can easily lose those benefits. That’s because every time you start up again with a new workout, it’s as if your body forgot its previous level of conditioning.

The result is tiredness after workouts and who needs that?

Did You Wait For Your Body To Tell You To Exercise?

Often people get an idea in their mind that they have to go work out so many times a week and for so long and nothing else is going to work.

The problem with this type of thinking is that you can’t squeeze into the equation the part about your body having wisdom and telling you how it feels.

If you charge ahead committing to exercise 7 days a week or 5 days a week for 2 hours each session, what will you do if your body says slow down?

Commitments are good and a good way to meet your goals but they have to be flexible so you can take into account your body, the one you have for life and the one that you should be good to.

More About Tiredness After Workouts

There’s more to this testimonial. Ms. Larsen continues:

“And by the way, I need that herbal recovery formula! I didn’t
realize how much I needed it until I ran out. Boy do I feel tiredness
after workouts without it! When can I come to get it? Today?”

This brings up the big question: What Are You Using to Eliminate the Tiredness after Workouts?

The recovery formula I use is one that includes the following herbs:

• dong quai
• manaca
• una de gato
• aquilaria
• safflower flowers
• tangerine oil
• sarsaparilla
• bitter orange
• peach seed
• dalbergia odorifera
• tayuya
• iporuru
• samambaia

All these are herbs that have been used by people in other countries for many years. Some of them are Chinese herbs, such as dong quai and peach seed. Quite a few of them are herbs from Peru and Brazil.

The combination has even been tested on athletes and found to increase their speed of recovery after workouts. And what that means is that they, like the patient mentioned above, can completely eliminate tiredness after workouts by taking a formula like this.

The way that herbal recovery formulas work is to increase the body’s ability to process lactic acid.

Lactic acid is the primary waste product that the body produces after working out. When it accumulates, you are guaranteed to be tired.

Exercise is a great habit but it’s the fatigue after exercise that people dislike most about getting a good workout.

This fatigue can range from doing a little yawning and feeling soreness in the muscles to having to stop the day’s activities and take a nap, then sleeping until the next morning.

What It Means To Be Tired After Exercise

The more exercise fatigue one has, the more it’s an indication of a few things:

1. You may be very much out of shape.
2. Your body is deficient in the nutrients that help prevent oxidation.
3. You’re hungry!

It could be a combination of all of these things, too!

Where Do You Get Energy From When You Work Out?

When first starting an exercise program, it’s imperative to keep your mind on the end goal: to be in shape and have plenty of energy.

The energy you’ll get from working out comes from a lot of different places:

• Toned Muscles Means More Energy

Working out, especially with weights is a way to tone up the muscles. Once the muscles have better tone, they don’t scream out to you to rest when you exert yourself just a little bit.

• Higher Self Esteem

Working out is great for self-esteem and you stand up straighter and slouch less. Slouching is one of the top ways to use up any energy you have and have fatigue.

• Endorphins Released

Working out releases endorphins, which are the brain’s happy chemicals. Just like the name says, these endorphins will keep you happy.

The happier you are, the less fatigued you will be. You’ll suddenly find energy to do things you haven’t done in quite awhile.

• Sharper Brain

Working out sharpens your mind, too, as the brain receives more circulation than before you began working out. It clears out the mind and helps eliminate brain fatigue.

There’s four good reasons that you have to think about how good it is to exercise, and stop thinking about fatigue after exercise.

But how will you cope in the meantime?

Beat Exercise Fatigue With These Recommendations

The answer is clear.

Follow the recommendations below and you’ll see how well these methods work to beat fatigue after exercise.

1. Up Your Vitamin C

One of vitamin C’s functions in the body is to eliminate – or neutralize the lactic acid that results after exercise.

Lactic acid builds up when you exercise and it’s responsible for you slowing down.

When runners run a marathon, it’s the lactic acid buildup in combination with the body converting over to burn fat that makes them ‘hit the wall’.

But the beauty of taking extra vitamin C is that the lactic acid is eliminated.

What that really means to you is that you won’t be tired after exercise or experience exercise fatigue.

The big question is how much should you take? Start with 500 mg vitamin C every hour after you work out. Take about 4 or 5 doses. This should allow you to wake up the next morning refreshed totally and ready to exercise again.

2. Vitamin E Beats Extreme Fatigue After Exercise

While you increase your vitamin C to beat exercise fatigue, it’s a good idea to balance out the vitamin C with vitamin E.

Vitamin E replenishes the vitamin C in the body, and helps beat oxidation. When you can beat oxidation, you can beat fatigue after exercise – and just ordinary tiredness, too.

Suggested dosage is 400 IU daily of alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) or a combination of tocotrienols.

3. Lots Of Enzymes From Fresh Fruits And Vegetables

When you increase your raw fruits and vegetables, you increase your consumption of natural enzymes that are in the food. One excellent way to get more energy and beat fatigue after exercise is to juice after you work out.

Here’s an excellent recovery formula that will help:

Carrot Apple Spinach Juice

2 carrots
1 apple, preferably red delicious
2 handfuls spinach

Directions

1. Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Remove the core and seeds from the apple and discard.

2. Juice through a juicer, starting with the spinach. If the spinach won’t juice that well, add a carrot simultaneously.

3. Mix and drink.

4. You can also make this drink in a blender as a smoothie.

4. Plenty Of Water

One of the signs of dehydration is fatigue and tiredness.

Some experts say that almost 90% of us all are dehydrated and the signs show up in different ways. Some people have random aches and pains in the body while others are overcome with pain.

One woman I know was taking up to 6 Vicodin capsules daily for body pain that prevented her from doing any housework at all. She never could even get to the point where she could work out.

When all she did was make a simple change of drinking water all day long, her pain dwindled to almost nothing.

She didn’t feel that it was in her best interest to stop the Vicodin completely due to the possibility of withdrawal symptoms but went down to only 2 capsules in 24 hours. And her regular personality came back.

If you’re going to exercise, prepare for it. If you have fatigue and tiredness now, give yourself a few weeks at working out to eliminate the tiredness. You’ll soon be a brand new you.

If you suffer from persistent tiredness, exercise may be the last thing you think about doing.

You probably feel too drained to get yourself up and changed into your workout clothes, much less out of the house, into the car and over to the gym or on to your bike for a ride.

But you’ve also probably heard that exercise is a good way to increase energy naturally.

Do you think it’s the case but just not true for you? Or is it that you just need to push yourself past your initial resistance to exercise?

How Does Exercise Increase Energy Levels?

Short bursts of moderate exercise give you short bursts of energy. Chances are good that you’ve experienced this at some point. Moving gets your blood flowing and causes your body to release chemicals called endorphins which increase energy levels naturally.

If you want sustained energy – that is if you want to be more energetic overall – you need to exercise on a regular basis to build stamina. Regular exercise does this by increasing muscle mass. It also enables your metabolism work more efficiently.

So, in effect, exercise gives you more energy because you use less energy when your body is in better shape.

Why You Resist Exercise and How to Get Past Your Resistance

One reason that people resist the idea of exercise is that they think it will be hard or boring. This does not have to be the case.

Anything that requires you to move your body counts as exercise, and everyone can probably think of some type of activity that is at least as enjoyable as sitting mindlessly on the couch flipping through television channels.

Do you like the outdoors? Then a nature walk would be a good exercise choice for you?

Do you like to learn or sightsee? Try a walking tour of a historic neighborhood.

If you’re the more competitive type, you may want to join a recreational sports league. Many areas have opportunities to play a competitive sport, such as basketball, volleyball or tennis.

Challenge yourself by running in local races or if you live near the water, join a rowing team. You will find yourself energized not only by the physical exercise itself but also by the challenge of competing with yourself or as part of a team.

Exercise Is Good For Your Social Life and Your Sense of Purpose

If you need a different motivation for learning how to have more energy, maybe your social life is the answer. Many activities that include some form of exercise can also give you the opportunity to meet people and make new friends.

If you like yoga, find a studio you can attend on a regular basis. Chances are you will soon make friends with fellow students who are on a similar path as you. Another way to combine exercise with socializing is to join a hiking club or a gym.

If you’re also looking for a sense of purpose, try volunteering. Volunteer work can have both social and physical benefits, depending on what type of service you choose to do.

For example, you can volunteer to help to clean up a riverbank or maintain a hiking trail, or you can work on a housing construction project in your community.

If you love animals, find a shelter that needs volunteers to walk dogs, or if you like kids, get involved in an after school or summer playground program.

Fitting Exercise into Your Busy Schedule

Maybe your social life is already full, perhaps so full that you’re exhausted!

If so, you may believe that there just isn’t time in your schedule to get out and exercise on a regular basis. If this is the case, try developing a simple routine that you can do right in your own home.

If you have enough space to move, simply walking around your house or dancing to your favorite music for a while will help increase your energy. You don’t need an hour long block of time either. Even a few minutes of exercise several times throughout the day will do the trick.

If you’re honest with yourself, you should have no trouble finding some unproductive habits to give up in exchange for a little bit of physical activity.

You can also try to combine your daily chores with exercise. This can be as simple as walking to the library to return a book or moving more briskly while you clean the house.Yard work is another obvious way to exercise and take care of your home at the same time.

Remember that exercise is just one way to increase energy.
