Rough schedule sapping energy. How do I regain enough to be able to go workout?

With a schedule like that, I'd be exhausted, too.  Anyone would!  First, keep an eye on your diet and rest.  Make sure you're fueling up with as much good calories as possible, and enough of them.  Too little and you'll constantly be down.  Try to grab healthy snacks during the day, whatever your situation allows, be it leftovers, something you prepare (yogurts, fruits, nuts, lean meat), or a prepared energy bar.  Try to fuel up every 2.5 - 3 hours to keep energy in your tank.  Also, get enough rest.  12 hour shifts can be brutal without adequate rest.  After diet and rest, I'd work in whatever exercise the schedule allows that is practical.  If that's 2 days per week, so be it.  If you find you can do 3 days, great.  Given your limited time to workout, if you're doing weights, I'd suggest full-body workouts whenever you're in the gym.  And limit your time to 45 - 60 minutes.  After 60 minutes, we've pretty much tapped our energy and maintaining the proper intensity for longer than that is pretty difficult.\n\nDon't stress about the workouts too much.  Deal with what you have to focus on first (life, career, general health).

If you eat better and excersize you will have more energy in the mornings. Also, try to go to bed earlier! Going to bed at midnight and waking up at 6am for work isn't healthy!

I am proud of you wanting to take a step toward your goal, you are so young and I know that you have energy it might be sleeping right now but find it. You have a gaol and can achieve it. First eat HEALTY and drink water like crazy, then drink more water. Walk and exercise. You can do it. Good luck and take care I know you can reach your goal!

I find working out and drinking lots of water seriously helps you have energy...it may not seem like it because working out wears you out, but your body gets energized from working out...so jog or do aerobics the night before. You will feel great the next day I promise.

Exercise and diet.\nFor diet see a below one week diet.\nDo not know your schedule, but try this for exercise: first thing in the am, 30-45 mins of moderate. (elipitcal or rowing) go for a 10 min walk at mid morning. Run at lunch (Harder 30 mins) 10 min walk mid afternoon. 30-45 min moderate at around 5pm. And if you can, something around the time you go to bed. \nAlso, do not eat after 6pm, and go to bed early (No later than 9pm)

you have to force your self into a routine, of getting up and staying up finding your self something to do during the day to keep active..you have to train your self. your body will get use to the time change you put it through..you just have to keep active...Been there done that got through it and you will to... just keep busy....

I think you almost have to go first thing in the morning. If you put it off until later in the day, you'll just find a reason to not make it. (Not that you would make anything up, it's just that things come up as the day goes on.)\n\nFor the past few months, I've been getting up an hour earlier and going to the YMCA. It is a GREAT way to start the day... a real energy lifter, in my opinion. After you get used to it, you'll find it becomes habit and your day doesn't feel the same if you missed a workout that morning.\n\n------\nWell... sounds like you have a full schedule. I would say the only way you could make it to the gym more would be to do it on the weekends or give up some of your obligations. I don't have the power to add a few hours to the day, or I'd try to help you out. :)

Maybe try doing the bike for 30 min instead of 5. 5 minutes does nothing. And try running faster. Get tired and sweaty that burns more fat and calories.\nAnd don't have snacks.

I asked this same question a few days ago and honestly the best answer I got was get an exercize buddy and it has worked!! I was such a procrastinator but now that I have a buddy I actually am motivated to work out. We get together 3-5 times a week.It is the best thing i ever did! Good luck to you!!

You are probably overworking yourself and going too late in the day.  Try it early in the morning, after a very light snack (like a banana) and then after working out, have a nutritious breakfast and a vitamin.  Start out at a lower intensity and slowly work your way up.  Good luck!

Be sure you are using a good mulitivitamin to help boost your energy levels.  Also you may want to try drinking a product that will help replace your electrolytes after such a work out.

just push yourself, try to get as close or faster than 1:15 everyday.. that way you know how fast it is, and your body adjusts to it. Then when you get to the 1:15 pace lane dont just make the pace.. try to see how much rest you can get.. and you'll get better
