What should I do?

[Anonymous]

I've been working my butt off, healthy eating, working out everyday, but now I have all this damn energy. Is there anything else I can try? Or do to burn some energy... and please don't say try sex lol my boyfriend is struggling with internet so it's hard to see each other for the next few months

Try something physical or mental that will challenge you. I mean you can do any type of sport/activity, but I find, if it's not a challenge to me, than I don't expend any energy to it. So I tend to try and set challenges within the activity I'm doing to push myself further and stress myself either physically or mentally. This, in turn, will naturally make myself better. That's why competitions are really good for people. It's a way for us to improve ourselves because if we do something difficult, then we have to push ourselves to become better and improve our skills to be able to accomplish that goal and to get through the difficulty. Then you naturally become a stronger/better person. But, you have to find something that you won't normally do, that will challenge you and get you out of that comfort zone.

Thank you, this made me think a whole lot more. Any exercise I do, I'm so used to it and very capable of it so I don't use to much energy on it. Thank you:)

[MrMysteryMan]

Yeah, no worries. I hope it helps you.

Take fighting classes. You can beat yourself tired that way haha. Seriously though, they're a fantastic way to deal with excess energy.

[Asker]

Haha I do, I'm a kickboxer. But I haven't done it in months, I'll have to go back to it and that will for sure help:) thank you

[CanadEh]

Ayy, fellow former kickboxer. I'm probably going to get back into it soon too now that I'll finally have the time to do so.

[Asker]

That's good, when I get to see my boyfriend I'm pretty sure he'll make me run with him and kick box with again anyways, so might as well get back into it now

[CanadEh]

Yeee, that way you can keep up with him too haha

[Asker]

Dragging behind him 😂 I'm 5'3 barely and he's 6'0... I'll small enough I'll just climb on his back lol

[CanadEh]

#goals 😂

[Asker]

💩😂we try

[darkknight8909]

try high intensity interval training (HIIT). it's absolutely exhausting.

also the insanity and p90x workouts will totally exhaust you also

[redxiii74]

Do rock climbing or some full body sport. I do yoga that helps channel

[underconstuxion206]

Do you lift weights? Or do you just do cardio?

[Asker]

Urm I do cardio, and kickboxing and I don't know how much a pulling rope and medicine ball counts for weights

[underconstuxion206]

I guess you can count medicine ball as weights. But try pushing weights, especially squats and lunges. And don't worry about getting super big muscles (without steroids, you won't get freakishly big). I can't believe you still have energy after kickboxing.

[Asker]

I just did a class and physically I wanna lay down but mentally I could do 2 more classes

[Asker]

But I'll try that, thank you

[bjstevenson89]

Take up a hobby that burns off more energy

[Asker]

I already volunteer, and help out my aunt and kick box, lol so I'm coming up with a blank

[bjstevenson89]

Have you tried cutting your sleep back a little see if that helps?

[Asker]

I have insomnia, so the most I ever sleep is about 4 hours. So I'm so confused about all the energy I have, I'm an energetic person as it is. So it's weird

[bjstevenson89]

This might be a hormone inbalance, maybe you should see a doctor just to be safe

[Asker]

Ok, thank you. My mom actually had a hormone imbalance as well, that could be a good reason

[bjstevenson89]

Good luck
