Finally back to working out frequently after two months of being too sick to leave bed or eat, really. I missed it.

I have no idea how people work out at night. I am so energetic afterwards that it's entirely possible I might kick someone in the face.

I've been going to the gym 4 times a week for almost three years now and running 5 miles usually twice a week for about 4 years now.

I found a new park I'm going to start running at the other day that has 6 mile trails through the wilderness. Stooooked. Eventually I'd like to be able to save up enough money and get into rock climbing and bouldering since I can pull my own weight eeeeasily.

i don't know why, but i never pegged you as being someone interested in working out.

Most people probably wouldn't

I never used to, and then once I graduated high school (after doing nothing physical at all during it) I decided to start running since I felt my heart and body overall was weak. After doing that for a while I joined a gym and really can't imagine not working out. I even guilt trip myself when I take a week off. Dunno, I just got into it I suppose.

I feel utterly destroyed afterwards and just collapse with that euphoric post-workout glow.

Energetic is something you should not feel after working out.

Really push yourself next time and see if you still wanna kick someone in the face.

I get it even when I'm pushing myself. I feel exhausted for a few minutes, but then I get energetic, happy, and would not be able to sleep. Might have something to do with psychotic body being messed up, who knows. Most things are switched around.

It's normal. Exercise releases endorphins which make you feel better. That's why exercise is a great thing to do if you're stressed.

Thank you, sir. Was feeling like a crazy person for a bit there.

There's a difference between feeling better and feeling energetic. The "euphoric post-workout glow" I mentioned is the endorphins, but after a good workout I have rubbery limbs and no energy left at all. Sometimes I can barely lift my arms to make a protein shake.

Anyone here ever use adderall when working out? I've had access to it whenever I wanted, and it's always been a huge plus in the motivation dept. Now trying to work out without it is a bit of a challenge. Anyone else been there?

Definitely, but you should be able to recover to a decent level within an hour or so. If you're so incredibly tired even an hour later, then you're most likely overworking yourself which is detrimental to your health.

I always found that having a banana or some other readily digestible nutritious food after a workout brought me back up to speed faster.

Granted, but again there's a big difference between "recover to a decent level after about an hour" and feeling energetic after a few minutes. Anyone feeling the latter is probably not pushing themselves hard enough.

I remember the first time my friends took me to the gym, I was thinking "Wow, this is pretty strenuous" and we were just doing the warm up. They pushed me to the absolute limit - it was the first time I'd ever worked that hard, harder than I thought I could go. It took me a week to recover from it, with the crippling first-time DOMS, but it completely redefined what my limit actually was.

Haha! I did shoulders the other day and it was another workout trying to shower. I love that!

When I shower after working my arms and/or chest, it is noticeably harder to reach parts of my back. Love that feeling.

cool dude.

you should post pics of you running...you know, to show your progress...

I have the pain associated with pushing yourself while working out but am still energetic. One of my illnesses has to do with chronic pain, so it is fairly normal to me? When you frequently feel like a group of people have attacked you with bats for an hour, the soreness of working out isn't that big of a stretch. Used to it. My body and my normal are incredibly different from most people. Ah well.

Also, diet does factor into recovery time. And the smilies on this forum confuse me.

^^^ What's confusing about them?

I'm supposed to feel happy afterwards? I feel fine while I work out, but when I stop I just feel miserable

whenever someone posts GSMILE , it's usually in a sexual reference. but then of course, its also just jokes. as there is no actual sex on TA.






















































or is there?

That's what we're talking about. You get a big endorphin rush, and those endorphins don't just vanish.

It probably depends on your workout routine, what kind of exercises you do. I work out at home with heavy weights and I try to do high intensity sessions, never resting for more than 60 seconds and doing a full workout in half an hour. When I'm finished I just stagger out of my basement and collapse for a while. When I went to a gym I never felt so destroyed because the same workout took much longer, what with waiting for equipment and machines to become free, and so on.

But yeah, my post-workout state is utterly exhausted, warm and very uplifted. It's almost post-coital.

I woke up and did 40 pushups this am.

had a long day at work. came home and worked it. just doing the simple sets i've been doing lately, but increasing weight just a little bit. little bit goes along ways, i think. i'm sore right now, in fact, my left arm feels kinda tingly lol. but i'm glad i did it. and i'm noticing some little changes now in my chest and that makes me feel good

Getting back into it really soon, running + lifting. I fucking need it, shit.
