How should I find the energy to work out again? Where should I start from? Can someone, please, recommend me routine for home (I can't go to the gym)?

[Anonymous]

Ok, so I really want to start working out again. I can't find the energy to do it. I used to work out 2 hours a day or more. I was enjoying it. bBut since I started my classes again I am too busy to do it. I feel tired when I get home (I am always coming home at 8 pm). I can't find the energy to do anything, but reading my notes (which I must do).
Is it ok if I can't work out every day? Only 3 days a week?

You start with the usual squats, pin ups, push ups (not many of these).
And if you can't run, you can always just lay on the floor and get up (do this around 40 times, seems basic, but it's good)
After the first day, you'll probably be sore if it's been a while, and you'll feel alive. You'll feel every muscle in your body. Then you let 2 days pass, and you start to feel better, and you start doing it again, but this time, you won't get sore.. and you'll think "great", then you do this for about 1 or 2 weeks, and you realize: "wait a minute, I'm getting nowhere with this shit, I'm not improving at all", then you'll forget about it some days, and eventually will quit all together.

Then you join us the rest of the mortals, who don't exercise at all, and still live happily ever after.

3-4 days a week is ideal for most people. You need rest days between hard workouts. And you're not aiming for the Olympics, after all.

If you're too tired to go out, get an exercise ball, one of the big ones, and use it for stressing and a light workout, just to keep in tone. Even if you work out just 20 minutes, it will keep you fit.

Watch your diet carefully when you cut back your exercise routine; you tend to want to eat just as much as when you were working out 2 hours, and that's not ideal,, Not at all!!!

[martyfellow]

Sorry, Apple fill in here, Use it for STRETCHING and a light workout..

Is healthy for ur body to have a rest day. So 3 days a week sounds good and it will not overwork it. Once u have time then u can go back to ur normal routine. I usually either, wake up early for 30 mins workout or at night. Although props to u working out longer lol, I'm still conditioning my body to last longer 😅

[Elarra]

Honestly? I always go in the morning and look at myself in the mirror. Like I've accepted I'm not fat but I wanna look better and it's self motivating. Then the first thing I do in the morning is hit the gym, which I know is easier said than done for people with jobs.

[Elarra]

I can't recommend a routine but I always do one muscle group a day for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of cardio.

Thank you.

Girl, I used to never work out. At all. For like two years this continued, until two years back when I started ballet lessons. I still do ballet and I workout myself too sometimes.

Three days is a lot. I think you'd be superb if you could do that.

Set small goals at first like doing situps or going for walk around your area where you live while reading your school notes. If you have stairs in your house thats also a workout in itself going up and down them. Once you get your little goals accomplished you'll already have established a routine. Working out will give you energy, getting started is the hardest part.

[underconstuxion206]

Working out 3x a week is good, that's what a lot of people do with busy lives. As for your lack of energy that comes from a lack of sleep, probably from all the studying you do. The more you exercise, the more energy you will have. It's like a snowball in either direction, the fewer times you work out, the less energy you seem to have, the more you workout the more vibrant and energetic you feel, sounds backwards I know, but i guess it comes down to muscle mass vs fat mass.

Watch some work out dvd's and do the routines. Since your feeling tired when you get home I suggest drinking as much water as you can during the day. It's hard to do it especially at night but you can. Just have to push yourself alittle and start of small with any routine then work your way up.

[TripleAce]

It's a catch 22 - what feels like we lack energy to work out, working out, will in fact increase energy during your day - if not done to failure that is

So if you are tired, look at it as a boost.. a pick me up... a. Cup of joe... even if it's just 20-30 mins doing cardio

[Xfitchick]

See my MyTake on exercises you can do when you travel. Those you can do at home too. If you are tired, just do some exercises. You will see it relaxes yoir mind and releases stress and you will feel a lot better.

[Wingedz]

Push ups, Sit ups, Bicycle sit ups, Squat Jump, Mountain Climbers. Do it as you like, 3-4 sets 10-30 reps each, push yourself to the limit if you really wanted to be fit.

[USA2016]

3 days a week is better than nothing. You should schedule those days out and set up a routine. Make sure you're eating well and drinking water throughout the day, that will prepare you for the workout... You've got this 👍

[archiz]

it s ok
I suggest you go directly from school to the gym
because once you get home at that hour you d be too lazy to go out again

[deraz24]

youtube has a good bit of workout videos, look up beginner ones for whatever you want to work on, or google sites that can make a plan for you.

[Asker]

If I worked out before, can I still go with the beginner ones?

[deraz24]

yeah, your body should still get its workout vibe back

[Asker]

Ok, thank you!

[deraz24]

your welcome

[akadatank44]

Do it right away in the morning then it's over and it helps you get energy for your day.
Do you have any equipment at all at home?

[Asker]

I don't have. I did it very well before without equipment. But that routine took me longer cause then I got time.

[Adigelunar]

muscles need some rest so its better to wor out 3 days a week

[Hogwartsstudent]

Rope jumping , squats , push ups and crunches , now you trained every muscle in your body

[MananRoxx]
