I just sat down now that J is napping and it hit me like a load of bricks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489587 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:55:37 +0000 rattles 1489587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always feel energized as I shower and change after, and I feel tired and lazy as soon as I sit down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489586 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:55:25 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1489586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tired. Tired, tired, tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489583 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:54:43 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1489583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: hahaha I love your logic ;) It is true! Getting us both changed before and after the pool with a toddler who is all over the place is a workout itself ;) </p> <p>@MrsTiz: They actually told us in biology class WHY exercising make more energy - so I understand the chemical process of it - but I just don't feel it. Maybe it's something people who work out hardcore feel, but not those who only make it to the gym 1-3x a week, like me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489574 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:52:25 +0000 snowjewelz 1489574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I still think it's a great routine! That way you get to work out and the LO still gets to play! I bet you still burn a lot of energy just watching &amp; playing w/ him in the pool though! And getting him and you ready then going home and changing, etc is a lot of work too. So conclusion is, you deserve a nap too :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489565 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:50:30 +0000 MrsTiz 1489565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I have never EVER felt more energized after working out and have often wondered why on Earth people say that. I can work out for 2 minutes or 2 hours and I will not feel energized afterwards no matter what time of day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489553 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:49:08 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1489553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: well, once we're in the pool, I don't do a whole lot! So I wouldn't consider it a workout! There is a toddler wading area and he mostly stays there :) I don't know if I'd have the energy to get up and workout right away in the morning - I guess it just works out best for this routine because then J gets play time in the child area and then swim time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489551 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:48:14 +0000 Alivoo01 1489551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I used to work out first thing in the morning, I always felt energized. But like @snowjewelz: said, you seem to be busy with some other things all morning then working out for 2 hours. Just reading that makes me tired and want a nap. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489537 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:45:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1489537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe only if working out is the first thing you do in the morning? You also are working out for like 2 hours! I can't imagine you not being tired! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-more-tired-or-energized-after-a-workout#post-1489532 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 13:43:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1489532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always hear that working out will make you feel more energized, but I hardly every feel that. </p> <p>J and I now have a routine every Wednesday morning - we drop off DH at work at 10:30, then head to the Y. I work out for an hour (45 min cardio, 15 min weights), then J and I go swimming for an hour. Come home, eat lunch and he goes down for a nap.</p> <p>It's nap time and I'm probably as tired as he is! </p>
