Im 38 now, trying to get back into a 3 day a week routine. I work a high stress job, and i play hockey 2 times a week. Im also married and my weekends are usually full of housework. Lately i feel like I cant stay consistent because i just have no energy any more. I also dont feel like my body is recovering either.
I drink protein shakes, and try to pound energy drinks to keep myself going. Other than that, im out of ideas. Any got any advice on getting energy and recovery at my age?
Let’s get the basics right first - 8 hours of sleep and lots of good, nutritious food.
That said, for me, I found that heavy lifting 3-4 times a week and cardio twice a week was a bit too much. Once you’re past a certain age (and we both are), it’s just a lot.
Yea i dont know, i have a friend at work that does it with two kids. I actually think part of the issue is mental health, i often feel pretty unhappy with a lot of current events and it can be draining too.
