Sleepy After Workout?

After hours of sitting at front of the computer, coding, surfing web, I had to get up and took some exercises but I have a question. Do you always feel sleepy after workout? Well, If so, worry not because you’re not alone, you have me with you.

Digging around the internet and researching a lot about that issue, finally I can assure that there’s nothing wrong with feeling tired or sleepy after a good workout and in most cases it is just an indication that you’ve worked out hard enough and the body needs to recover.

The idea of “no pain, no gain” has long been used by trainers, coaches and fitness instructors to push exhausted athletes to exercise. Although the instructors would have you believe that your body isn’t tired, your mind is telling you that your body is fatigued because you’re not accustomed to intense physical training.

Although there is no right or wrong answer, but in my opinion, the reasons why we feel sleepy after exercise are poor cardiovascular fitness and it could be the poor technique.

Even lifting simple dumbbells can stress your cardiovascular system if done with minimal rest between each set. If you increase the intensity of your workout abruptly, it is not uncommon for you to become fatigued. Then I did monitor my heart beat rate, If my heart exceeds 180 beats per minute, I need to have some rest and drink water to hydrate your body, much better.

Performing the movements incorrectly can also cause energy depletion. A good example is, if you run with a poor technique, such as with your arms swaying wildly, can make less intense workouts feel more tiring.

Conclusively, I want to say whatever your goals are – to get stronger, increase fitness, lose weight or just feel better – the best way to achieve them is approach them surely and slowly. Well-balanced gradual increases in training are the best, but only when the body is given enough time to recover. Here is what we should do, I just want to write down here to remind me too:

• Concentrate on working out regularly, while making gradual but moderate measurable progress.
• Always work smart and avoid straining your muscles
• Always evaluate your physical feelings and check for the symptoms of overtraining listed above
