a protein drink, a piece of fruit, yogurt, piece of cheese. I do a protein drink or a piece of cheese and feel better. Also keep well hydrated with water before during and after exercise

If I were you I'd join a bootcamp and increase exercise in the early morning and then follow that up with another 1.5 hours of more cardio and weights during the day. \n\nHere are some golden rules to getting leaner & building stamina: \nInitially cut down your fat intake to 30 gram and calories to 1600-1800 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for at least 1.5 hours a day. \nDo three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life! \n\nExercise must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. You can do a circuit class but this counts as one weights session. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running (do it uphills as well), rowing, stairmaster, boxing and double spin sessions. Include running up a stair well or sand dunes. If your classes are less than 1 hour top it up with cardio before and after classes. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nWhen you get to the gym after stretching do this everyday and time it. Your aim is to beat your time each day there is no recovery time between each set so run to the next peice of equipment: \n1) 1km run incline 3 as fast as you can\n2) 2km bike ride level 10 as fast as you can\n3) 1km row level 10 as fast as you can\n4) Stepper - 30 stairs as fast as you can\n\nAs you get fitter double the time so do 2kms not 1kms for each exercise and time it and so forth. Increase the levels and go hard. Do your weights straight after. You will burn over 300 calories just doing the above for 15 minutes not bad hah!\n\nYou will get fitter very quickly and definately build stamina.

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.

It gives you a great kick start to the day supplying your brain with fresh oxygen and speeding up your metabolism for the whole day, it's also just as important to feed your body  the correct nutrients straight after you finish, especially for weight training, it is recommended to eat mainly protein  no longer than 15 minuets after you train this is easily done with a healthy shake, One of my favourite is Bananas, Whey protein and a couple of egg whites.

Do not engage in any type of exercise 2 hrs prior to going to bed.  Try a glass of milk- it contains a protein that helps you sleep. Avoid caffeine:teas,coffee,sodas etc.. Comfortable pijamas,idealroom temp,reading a book,aviod a great movie or show it will keep u stimulated.  Good luck!

Take a half hour break: spend 20 minutes doing some vigorous exercise until you break a sweat and get your metabolism and pulse revved up.  Then take a shower, change to clean clothes, and eat a high-protein meal with few carbs.  You'll be good to go for a few more hours.

exercise, go for a little sprint, or do some situps.\n\nThat will raise your heart level and wallah, instant energy.

Depends on what kind of exercise you will be doing.  My reccomendation is that if you plan on doing ANY running, DO NOT eat within two hours before you go.\nIf you're planning on just doing lifting or aerobics or stuff like that though, eat a Powerbar before or after with 8 oz of water.\nYou can eat whatever you want after, that's all on your eating habits and weight loss/gain goals.\nMake sure to stay hydrated though!

If you are a runner you do not want to do a lot of weights and gain muscle bulk, watch out for too much protein when lifting. \n\nThe best I have found is the Bowflex (I bought one), but any resistance weight training, like using the stretchy bands work great. \n\nMake sure to eat an hour before your workout for energy and between 60 and 90 minutes after so your muscles have energy to repair. If you can't wait 60 minutes after, by all means don't starve yourself.\n\nStarving means the body is going to store fat because it thinks a drought is coming so more of it gets converted to fat on your body.\n\nGood luck !\n\nCheers

Drink lots of water, be absolutly sure to get ALL of your GOOD fats and carbohydrates, do cardio on an empty stomach but be sure to eat within 10 minutes after your cardio session which should last between 30 and 60 minutes. Get all of your vitamins and minerals.\n\nThe more muscle you have the higher you motabolism you will also burn more calories doing nothing because your muscles require more calories to sustain them so this means to do some form of resistance training.\n\nSwimming is good and will burn fat but your fat will be redistributed to the outer side of your muscles so you will never really get ripped, fat does that to swimmers as a way to insulate the muscles from the cold water.

I know what you mean and I think it's because you've jump started your adrenaline by working out for a little while and now you have to expand that energy.  If I work out for a long time, I'm totally exhausted at the end where as if I do a short work out I feel energized...but the latte is still on my hips!

Try taking a multi-vitamin and B-6.  It really helps me get a little more energy throughout the day.  Also, for your back, try swimming.  Good luck!

i wouldn't start out with 20 min of jumping rope but work my way up to it. you don't even have to jump with a rope, just jump in the air. its what i do and it works fine. this is really good for your heart so keep doing it. but starting out at 20 min may make you tired so work up to it.\nalso add 15 - 20 pushups\nadd 20 crunches\ngo for a nice walk around the block and get some air.\nstreching is great so keep that up.\nit really depends who you are. some people like to eat before a work out and some people like to eat after. i would eat after if i were you because after the work out it gives you a chance to sit down a take a break.\nmodivation is great. try joining a sport or go dancing.\ntry kickboxing which would be best. or local martial arts studio. do activities.\nwatch what you eat. keep it healthy.\neveryday you will feel better and better.\ncaution: take at least one day out where you don't excersise and just take a break. take that one day and only go out for a walk and do the yoga. it gives you a nice day.\nhope this helps.

Getting regular exercise is the best thing you can do to increase your energy level.  If that doesn't work, have blood work done to check your thyroid and hemoglobin levels. Anemia can also cause fatigue.
