Question about exercising (lemmy.ml)

I try to work out in the afternoon, but I just can't—my body fights me the whole time. But when I work out in the morning, I feel tired for the rest of the day. What is this curse?!

I'm guessing I should just work out in the morning until I build enough stamina so I don't feel drained afterward. In the morning, I'm full of energy at the start, but then I feel completely beaten after the workout. Does anybody else go through this?

I am having the same problem with working out. Either I am pooped out for the rest of the day, and or I am too sore to go the next day.

One thing I know i am doing wrong is nutrition; working out without decent "energy" from food (protein, carbs, fats, etc). I am told you only burn so much fat for the energy.

I just figured out my macros (a plan to lose weight and give some energy for the gym) and I am now planning meal prepping.

Also water, I know I an not drinking enough water.

The next thing I need to work on is sleeping. Not getting a decent night's rest and then working out wipes me out.

Hope this helps!

Sleep is honestly number 1, followed by diet, before even entering the gym.
