Anyone know how to increase energy without supplements?
For the past three weeks i have been extremley tired. I even yawn during my workouts. I sleep long enough but still feel very tired. I want to get energized but dont want to take any caffenine pills. Any tips on getting some more energy would be greatly appreciated. im thinking of buying some red bull or somthing i cant take it anymore.

sleep more, go to the gym when you are more awake, drink some simple sugars with your pre workout shake, eat more complex carbs throughout the day for more sustained energy. red bull is just a quick fix and you will be feeling tired again later.

go to the doctor to get a simple blood test.
and ask him to check if everything is in the normal range.
(your potassium levels, magnesium levels, testosterone levels)
basically ask him to check if EVERYTHING is in the NORMAL range.
thats my advice if more sleep and food doesnt work.

bananas(platanos, lol) are the answer. they give you a boost of energy for 90 minutes. just dont eat too many.

Red Bull is good for a short term adrenaline rush usually a couple hours. But if you aren't feeling well and you're taking Red Bull to increase your energy you will feel like **** when it wears off and you will be extremely tired.
