So, whenever I have a good, serious work out (running for a couple of miles or lifting) I feel sort of tired right after, but about half an hour later I end up feeling even more energetic than I was before my workout. It's more than just a little pep too, I feel like I'm going to fucking burst and start bouncing off the walls. This is especially bad because it keeps me up well into night and I end up losing sleep.Anyone experience something similar? Have any ideas? I can only imagine working out more would just lead to injury...
it's partly natural, but do you cool down and stretch after you work out?
Maybe you need to increase the intensity/frequency of your workouts?If it feels good, keep moving.I'm sure 3/4 of the people on /fit/ wish they had your 'problem'.
It means you worked out correctly, read, not to exhaustion like a bodybuilder. Your metabolism is up and everything works faster.Why do you think the guidos go to the gym and then straight to da club.
>>267101actually, now that I think about it... I don't do much of a cool down. I kind of stretch a little, but nothing serious.
>>267102> I'm sure 3/4 of the people on /fit/ wish they had your 'problem'.I'm sure that if those 3/4ths (probably more like 9/10ths) actually worked out, they'd notice that most of the time you get energy boosts from exercise.
Are you taking any supplements? Are you getting alot of caffeine in your diet? This phenomenon may or may not be related to working out.
>>267124Same happens to me -.- people are like work out at night to help you sleep. I workout at 8pm daily because I don't have any other time and It fucks me over because I cant sleep till 2-3am.
>>267211wake up at like 5 am.
This happens to me alot to, i also intake alot of caffeine to keep the feeling going. I work out in the morning then go to work. I get home about 830pm and when 10pm rolls around i am exhausted.
nothing to do with energy, but running releases dopamine into your system. that's basically chemical joy.
