Will exercise help me feel more energetic?
Whether it's cardio or lifting - will this help me feel more energetic throughout the day or is it not going to be as helpful? I know I should be doing this regardless, but would be curious to hear from those that have started exercising consistently, what benefits in terms of energy / stamina it has give you to work the job?
When I was interning during the summer I was able to do 3 workouts during the week. Benefits were countless:
- more energetic, can't say with 100% certainty but there was improvement
- felt more confident which believe it or not actually helps your job indirectly
- health wise is extremely good long term
Tbh I see no reason to not try it yourself. Taking care of your physical health is just as important as chasing career success. In the end of the day if you see it impacts you negatively(tho i highly doubt it) you can stop and try to find another way to get some physical activity.
I swim 5 times a week and strength train 2-3 times a week.
IMO cardio is generally underrated. It’s transformed my fitness but mostly just my general mood and mental health. That’s made me way more resilient to dealing with sh*t at work. Health is absolutely paramount, nothing else should matter more, it impacts absolutely everything about your life.

Yes. It will suck at first, but ultimately you'll have more energy, especially if you combine it with a good diet.
Short answer: YES! As your body becomes more healthy, you'll feel much better across everything you do.
yes
Really strange but i always thought that i should rest to make sure i have enough energy for the following day
But what i found was that regular exercise raised my metabolism or general energy levels
So when i started getting into the habit of gymming regularly i felt like shit for the first 2 weeks but after that 2 week hurdle i actually felt more energetic overall
yes
whenever I workout I have a small post workout crash that lasts about 10 mins and then boundless energy for the next day or two
I usually combine a weightlifting session with a run/time on the bike at the end
you mean exercise makes me....healthier????????
Yes, only if you’re getting enough sleep. If you don’t then it simply won’t work and will make your energy much worse.
