@kelly said in Fighting the Afternoon Energy Dip: You might also look at your work schedule. I've recently become aware of the fact that the tasks that seem to come up during the morning are the ones that are outside of my "sweet spot" from a personality perspective. When those occupy my morning and spend zero time doing things that give me life I end up wiped by lunch regardless of diet or exercise. That's a good point. When you're really excited about doing something or find it very engaging, it normally does not matter how tired you might be. I say normally here because there are truly times where you are just too wiped out to even do what you enjoy.

@manxam : I am a member of a club called Farrell's Extreme BodyShaping. We do cardio kickboxing M-W-F and strength training T-Th-S with resistance bands. We flip flop every other week. Week 1 - Legs / Arms / Legs, Week 2 - Arms / Legs / Arms The goal of this club isn't huge muscles - but really more general well being and decent overall strength. I don't have a goal to get huge or anything, but I would like to have a 6 pack for once in my life (I can actually see definition now - which is awesome), though once getting it, not sure how hard I'll try to keep it. Another goal is to be able to do 100 pushups in a row - I max at about 25 right now.
