9 Tips To Peak Your Energy At Any Time

Whether you love lounging at home or hate the idea of not being able to go to the gym, there will be days when you'll find yourself at home. For those who like to sweat it out in the gym, this can feel like a day wasted. In reality, it's far from that. While you let your muscles recover from intense workouts, you can still harness your chi and raise your energy level. For non-gym goers, the issue is slightly different. They do not face any of the muscle soreness that gym-goers often suffer from. However, many of them experience fatigue for different reasons.

End of the day, both fitness buffs and non-gym goers face the energy slump. Admittedly, people who work out face it less, but they still do. Whatever the cause is for your fatigue and low energy, remember this:

"Fatigue is an illness. There are things you can do to get your energy back.”, explains Beverly Hills, Calif.-based endocrinologist and metabolic specialist, author, and coach - Eva Cwynar, M.D.

Rest And Recover With A Massage Gun

Both fitness buffs and non-gym-goers can use a massage gun to spike their energy. This is especially important for those who like to train hard. There are many ways to get a massage. It’d be ideal if you could regularly visit your local spa or chiropractor and get a therapeutic massage. That's not possible. The next best thing is a massage gun, aka the percussion massager. You can find this tool everywhere you turn in the fitness/wellness community. From celebrities to top athletes like Ronaldo use this to boost blood flow in their muscles that aid in recovering faster from DOMS.

If you're not familiar with massage guns, do not worry. It's a percussion massager that helps loosen and relax your muscles with a deep massage. Think of the massage gun as your smart foam roller - that can hyper-target stiff muscles and promote blood flow.

Include a regular session of percussion therapy with the massage gun in your wellness routine. You should notice increased energy and lower stress. You do not need to set yourself back a fortune. You can now buy a pro-grade massage gun for just under $200.

 

Get Regular Solid Sleep

Lack of proper regular sleep is one of the top reasons for lethargy. Many people stay up till late working, watching TV, browsing, playing with phones.... This is an energy drainer. Start a proper bedtime routine and get your 8-hour every day. Aim for at least 7 if you cannot manage 8. Having a routine can help solve sleep problems.

 

Limit Alcohol

What is essential for a fun night out is actually a depressive substance that can drastically lower energy and cause fatigue. The good news is, it's becoming acceptable and even fashionable to go to parties and order non-alcoholic drinks. If you do decide to wind down with a glass of Cabernet, make sure you limit the amount.

 

Do Yoga

Is it magic? No, it's pure science, and doctors are now unanimous about its countless benefits. Among many other health benefits, you'll notice a subtle but sharp spike in your energy level. You'll feel more balanced, grounded, happy, and even joyously ecstatic.
