Tired?

Can exercising actually make you more tired? If you are an endurance athlete the New York Times article entitled “Sleep After Hard Workouts? You Must Be Dreaming” says yes. This could be a problem for many busy people trying to stay awake at work. The answer? Sleep all day and not go to work? Of course that is not possible, but is there an a practicable answer? If you find your most tired an hour after your workout, plan to exercise an hour before you want to go to sleep for the night, that way it does not interrupt your plans. If that does not work try to take a power nap during the time you feel most tired. If there seems to be no solution that fits your needs, do not give up on exercising. You may be a little tired now but the benefits will last a lifetime.
