One of my biggest pet peeves is when I hear the phrase, " I'm too tired to workout".
"Too Tired" is not an excuse to skip your workout.
Rather than ditching your workout altogether and letting your fatigue feed on itself: alter the type of exercise you do or the amount of time you spend doing it.
I strongly believe that just a 15, 20, or 30+ minute workout, can turn a day that is lacking in drive, motivation and energy into one that is positively reinforcing and bursting with energy and excitement at the possibility of it all.
Just this short burst will not only blast calories, it will boost your metabloism and do wonders for your mood and confidence. And if you think it will interrupt your work, take into account that studies have shown that physical exertion will actually help stimulate brain activity and relieve stress.
So go ahead, step away from your desk or the TV for a bit and rejuvenate your body and your mind!

I’ve loved running for as long as I can remember. I was a competitive runner in high school and college. I trained hard and my dream of making the Olympic team was within my reach when I suffered what could have been a career ending injury.
But today I’m enjoying the fit lifestyle again. I’m working toward my MBA and hope to have a career in fitness. I've started this blog hoping I can inspire someone else. Whether you’re in a fitness rut, working your way back from an injury, trying to begin an exercise program, or enjoying your fit lifestyle, I would love to hear from you. Send me an email or post a comment and tell me where you are in your fitness journey.
I can be a witness to this... I'm always beyond exhausted on Mondays and once I went to a cycling class with Amanda. I left practically bouncing back to my apartment - full of energy. Now if I can only remember that logic this coming Monday...
