What Should You Feel After Exercising?
Common myth: Tired! If you’re not tired, you’re not working hard enough.
That’s wrong, folks. If you’re feeling too tired, you’re pushing yourself too hard. It’s your body telling you: “Champ, you should’ve quit a long time ago!” Says the fine people at Harvard Medical School.
Except for the first couple of weeks of a new exercise program (when the unaccustomed stress may leave you more fatigued than usual), your workouts should leave you feeling invigorated, not worn out.
One good rule of thumb:
You should finish each workout with the feeling that you could have easily gone a bit longer.
An especially bad sign is if you’re still physically tired a day or two after a workout. (Sore is different.) In that case you’re probably over-training, and need to reduce the length and intensity of your exercise sessions.
Remember:
Tired = bad. Invigorated = Good
We'll light that fire!
We all need someone to tell us like it is. To help us cut through those excuses. To inspire you to be the person you want to be. We’ll ignite that flame alright!
The health & fitness party
Sometimes we need someone to organize that party.
And most importantly, get that party started and keep that party going… We know how to throw a great party!
