Some days it’s hard to muster the energy to get through your most basic obligations, yet alone try to fit a workout into your schedule. However, if you fight your fatigue with a brief workout, you can end up feeling more energized as you tone up. With the following easy workouts, you can use exercise to your advantage on those days when you just want to crawl back into bed.
Foam Roller Toning
A foam roller workout can have a wealth of benefits, including the fact that the whole workout can be performed while lying on the floor. With a foam roller, you can engage your core muscles while massaging the upper and lower back. These moves can reduce tension that might be contributing to your fatigue while encouraging better circulation, which can have an energizing effect.
Energizing Stretches
Like a foam roller, whole-body stretches can relieve stiffness and open up blood vessels to recharge the body. The limber feeling you’ll achieve by simply touching your toes, twisting your upper body, or bending your knees can help you feel revitalized and ready to keep moving.
Interval Workouts
If you can muster up a little more energy to start your workout, interval training may be just what you need to get back to a full charge. During interval workouts, you’ll put forth 100% effort in short spurts while walking or gently stretching in between these bursts of running or weight lifting. This type of workout can burn calories quickly and give you the energy boost you need to take on the rest of your day.
