Workouts for energy

[rheash92]

I have been feeling very tired and fatigued for a few months. I had my blood testing done and its all normal and am working on cleaning up my diet. I haven't really been working out consistently just some workouts here and there.

Are there any workouts that help with energy? Will yoga help? Any specific suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Lee Holden has one called Qi Gong for More Energy:

It made a difference for me when I was recovering from my double mastectomy.

Rebounding!!!

An exercise program that will calm you and release locked energy at the same time, such as yogilates ... and that pays particular attention to the breath, and that offers accessible corework (no headstands, handstands or other acrobatics!! Well, unless you want to go to Clown College soon )

You can still find it on Amazon:

it also has 2 higher levels, as needed ... I'd started with Level 2 at the time I'd started (Best Buy), as I was working out with cardio and a little yoga, at that time ..

Later paid through the nose for Yogilates Level 3 on Amazon at that time (this was still 4-1/2 years ago) ... sometimes there are price-spikes because a the program is in demand despite scarcity ... a ridiculous amount like $22 ...

Kundalini Yoga with Ana and Ravi does amazing things for my energy level. Be warned that kundalini yoga isn't for everyone, but it is definitely for me.

I find workouts like Ellen Barrett or Core Fusion energizing. Maybe because they mix stretches in between the toning work and Ellen is very fusion-y and mixes cardio, toning and stretching and it just makes me feel so good afterwards.

T-tapp's Mindful Movement for Healthy Hormones. The T-tapp You-tube channel has a number of 3-5 mins videos of t-tapp movements that will rejuvenate, also.

I concur with the rebounding mentioned above.

I also recommend 5, 10, or 15 mins of CS/Essentrics. If you don't have any of the dvds, there are a number of samplers on youtube, from 3-12 mins each.

Kundalini Yoga with Gurmukh. This DVD got me through the last phase of perimenopause. Even today, a decade later, it remains my favorite go-to when I need energizing.

Abwalk, an older DVD (George Foreman and Petra Kolber) is another good one. It's out of print but probably still available via Amazon. Lots of twisting (from the waist up) moves--for me they are real energizers.

Did you have your Vitamin D levels checked? I live in a cloudy, rainy climate, and Vitamin D supplementation has made a huge difference in my mood and energy.

I struggle with energy...crazy thyroid problems. What works for me is CS/Essentrics, Lee Holden's Qi Gong, and walking. Occasionally I do Ellen Barrett.
