Why am I always tired?

 Hi! 

Often people go through the phase of hating their workouts and not being active enough after working out. This is because you are working out too much. 

Understand this, this is really important. Rest days matter the most. You should be having atleast 2 days rest in your week. If you dont like having 2 rest days in a  row, you should adjust it as per your liking and have rest days. If you dont like 2 complete rest days, you could include a little bit of yoga or walking or dancing or pilates in one of your rest day. And complete rest with some stretching in other. 

Rest days are really important as they help you repair your torn muscles. Also you'll see healthy progress only if you have proper rest days. Otherwise you wont be able to give you 100 percent in your workouts if you exercise everyday without rest. Rest days are also called Growth days now.  □ Strenuous workouts cause muscle breakdown, while rest allows our bodies to build it back up. If there are no growth days in your routine, continuous muscle breakdown may hinder your progress. Growth days also are the time when our bodies replenish glycogen levels.

Its okay to be a complete couch potato for 2 days. It's okay to not be motivated to workout. Dont feel the pressure to not be lazy and snack on Doritos. 

If you feel fatigued even after your rest days, then you must be working out too much everyday. 

Working out for 30-45 minutes a day is enough. You don't need to workout for 2 hours to look like a Victoria Secret model  cz you already do ;)

Working out should be fun and shouldnt feel like a chore that you HAVE to do to fit in. It should make you feel energized and active all day. If you dont feel like that then you might need to change it. 

Will a rest day ruin my progress?

It can actually make your progress slower if you train this way, as your muscles aren't given enough time to heal, which is essential for growth. The ideal training routine for those asking how many rest days between workouts bodybuilders should take is 4-5 times per week

Thank you and I love you!
