Wiped Out!

Daniellieb Posts: 25 Joined: 2003/05/05	2003/05/07, 12:51 PM I've got a problem here. I've been feeling totally wiped out after my work out sessions. I do 45 mins of aerobics, 10 mins of floor work and 30 mins of weights. Am I over doing it? I realize the sore thing is to be expected but come on....I'm suffering here. Danielle

No more problems. Then of course, within 2 hours of your workout *after* get 40g of protein or so into that belly. -------------- --There are no versions of the truth.-- Jeff Goldblum, Jurassic Park II

You are eating protein and fats on Atkins, but they are far poorer forms of energy for your body than carbs. For 45 minutes of aerobics, your body is lacking that premium source of fuel.
