Looking like crap after a workout?

[Anonymous]

I workout regularly but when i do extremely intense and long workouts like i did yesterday my face seems to look tired and rough looking for the next day or two afterwards.. I get enough sleep too.

Clearly your body is not going into recovery mode quickly enough. You are pushing your body too hard.

Last labs/bloodwork = A-OK?
(Let's rule out organ problems)

Only takes a minute after fasting
then they can head off anything permanent
and you'll be back in the pink

could be your body is recovering so not much blood in your face. or you could be dehydrated as hell

That is natural. You lost energy and fluid and you need to replace those.

[Asker]

so would it be ideal to take a nap?

[akanetuk]

A short nap will be fine, but wash off the sweat, eat and drink to replace the lost body fluids, and take a short nap if you have the time

[Asker]
