Idk about other people, but after I shower and towel off I feel EXHAUSTED, I literally need to sit down for a bit and recharge....it's been this way for me for as long as I can remember.... anyone else experience this? I remember when I was younger I heard someone say that showering and cleaning, shampoo then toweling off is equivalent to a quick work out session, but idk how credible that was. (I shower with warm/hot water btw, though I hear cold water is better for T and stuff.)
What you guys think?

I leave the heating off in my house through the winter so my body has to work harder to keep me warm.

If showering and toweling off really leaves you out of breath and you're not trolling, I would see your doctor about it.

I stopped using lotion so that I would last longer and burn more calories.

I've been known to tie my shoes in a warm shower while not using lotion then dry off with a handkerchief all while using my off hand on days I missed my cardio. For the life of me I can't figure out why I gained to 340 lbs though.

I'm out of breath when drying off after a shower sometimes. It's when my wife and I have been "showering" together

If you're constantly rubbing one out in the shower then that's probably why you're exhausted.

This is a case of where you SHOULD be doing cardio.
There is always someone less fortunate, with real hunger, with real adversity, who made something of themselves. What is your excuse?

I wear a diaper because I'm afraid I may compromise my gains if I get up and go to the washroom.

There is something to this. My weekly workout routine is actually a 3 day A/B split with a shower on mondays, a bath on wednesday, and another shower on friday.
