Too tired to exercise
You’ve had a long, taxing day at the office and you’re ready to head home and collapse in front of the TV. You promised yourself you’d do a thirty minute workout but feel too exhausted to even think about it. Does this sound like a familiar situation? Two of the most common reasons people give for not working out are lack of time and fatigue. After all, a long day taking care of family or working at the office takes time and energy. Unfortunately, you still need exercise for both fitness and relaxation. What can you do to motivate yourself when you’re too tired to work out?
Too tired to exercise: Have your iron levels checked If you already exercise and find you’re approaching your daily workout with excessive fatigue and lack of motivation, see your doctor and have your iron level checked. Your doctor can do a blood test called a ferreting level which measures your body’s stores of iron. Aerobic exercise can cause slow depletion of iron levels with iron being lost through sweating and through leakage of small amounts into the gut with sustained movements. Plus, it’s not uncommon for women of child bearing age to be iron deficient. If you’re iron deficient, iron supplementation may make all the difference in your energy levels and your attitude towards exercise. Too tired to exercise: Exercise when you awaken in the morning If you feel tired and less motivated to exercise in the evening, try setting your alarm thirty minutes early and get your exercise session out of the way before the day starts. An early morning exercise session can help to energize and motivate you for the rest of the day. Plus, you can look forward to an evening of relaxation knowing you’ve accomplished your goal. This can be a simple solution to the problem of being too tired to work out. Too tired to exercise: Do it anyway Sometimes the best cure for fatigue is a vigorous exercise session. Have you ever noticed how you can walk into the health club exhausted but after thirty minutes of motion you feel energized and invigorated? There’s nothing like exercise to get your blood flowing and zap fatigue. If it’s difficult for you to get motivated to make that trip to the club, promise yourself a small reward after you finish your session if you follow through. Just make sure it’s not a jelly donut! Too tired to exercise: Lighten up your workout On nights that you’re too tired to work out, follow a lighter, less rigorous routine. To motivate yourself to take the first step, tell yourself you’ll only exercise for ten minutes. After ten minutes have elapsed chances are you’ll feel so invigorated that you’ll want to keep going. Too tired to exercise: Change your exercise format If you feel fatigued with a lack of motivation towards exercise on a particular evening, change your workout entirely and substitute something fun. Instead of walking thirty minutes on the treadmill at the club, take your dog for a brisk walk or do thirty minutes of stretches while you watch your favorite T.V. show. You can get back on schedule the next time you exercise and the variety will be good for you both physically and mentally. Give these tips a try and soon you’ll no longer need the old excuse of being too tired to work out. Plus, you’ll look and feel like a new person. resistance bands

Good points!
Too tired to exercise: Go with a friend Motivation is good! Went for a bike ride this past weekend in the 100 degree Philadelphia heat. Did 52 miles and having a friend go with me definitely helped! Too tired to exercise: Do something you like For me it's playing soccer two nights a week and swimming. It shouldn't be a chore, it should be fun.

My motivation is a couple things, those narrow seats in the G, having to wear a bathing suit from May thru Sept. (we go to the lake almost every weekend), being able to wake board and not be a mess afterward and overall well being and feeling great. Those are the things that drag my sleepy butt out of bed in the morning. Although having my choc. lab staring at me ready to go run in the A.M does really help. Sometimes I really have to focus on how good I feel after working out in order to get out there, especially when it's 20 degrees and I have to dress like an eskimo to go run and get sweaty. My afternoon workouts I have no problem with, I love the trainer I have and I enjoy seeing the same people each afternoon. As long as we can all find something we enjoy it's easier to stick to it.

I go in the morning....that way I don't have time to convince myself that I can "just eat healthy" all day and skip a work out. The alarm goes off at 4am, I angrily turn it off and drag my butt out of bed....by the time we get to the gym and start cardio, all my irritation about having to get up early has subsided....and by the time I'm done working out, I feel really great and am ready to tackle the day.
My other source of motivation is how great I've been feeling since I started this routine four months ago. It's definitely worth it!
