I thought I was supposed to be energized!?!?!?

I joined a fitness boot camp (M-W-F 5:30-6:30 AM). My first session was on Monday. I was able to go home and go back to bed when I was done so it wasn't too bad. Today after boot camp I had to go to work. I'm dragging....real bad!

Here's what the website says:

This class finishes with gentle stretching exercises to incorporate the complete mind/body experience. You will be energized all day!

Nope, not feeling energized. I feel sore (but in a good way)!

10 more classes to go!

Are you eating to work out and drinking during exercise? Maybe you need a calorie boost?

Since boot camp is pretty intense, it'll take a few sessions before you really start to feel "energized".

And if you're not an early morning person (personally I can't imagine doing boot camp at 5:30am!) then it may take even longer.

And you may even find yourself signing up for another session after completing the first round!

I'm not eating before but I am eating after. I do drink a lot during.

Definately not a morning person. I'm looking forward to the day I look forward to getting up and going to boot camp. I hope I will be motivated enough to sign up for another month. I like it, except for it being sooooo early! But I guess I'd rather have it early than after work when there are so many other things to do.

the one time that I did exercise regularly, I found that a few weeks after going 3 times a week my general energy level really lifted. hth. keep it up. But 5am! What were you thinking lol.

I usually don't feel energized right after exercising, especially when I've started after an absence. Exercise does help me maintain energy through the day once I've been doing it for awhile. Keep it up!
