Perhaps worth noting that initially this will not be the case, and I don't think it ever works quite like that. In my experience, working out habitually only indirectly gives me energy (if my body is acumstomed to expending significant amounts of energy for a regularly timed work out, my body will adapt by becoming more energetic around said time.
'Working out' will likely suck, a lot, for the first couple months (give or take x days/weeks). But at some point the endorphines released become noticably enjoyable.
- godot 8y agoI agree somewhat, I've always wondered if the "work out instead of coffee in the morning" is a myth people like to spread, because I never feel like that myself. In the morning, my energy level is simply not high enough, and I end up running less or lifting less than I otherwise could. However, I enjoy exercises in a different way: after work. I'm a programmer, so after an entire day of brain exercises, it feels extremely refreshing to be able to exert physical energies at the gym. (I've read articles on this specific topic, where if you're tired mentally, it's better to engage in physical activities than taking a nap, because it uses a different area of your brain. Don't know the source off hand.)
