Exhausted after a workout? In other words, some people think a workout has been good if they “feel exhausted” afterwards. Things often said after a fad workout: “I’m so exhausted.” “I’m so sweaty.” “I’m dead.”

Many people think the worse they feel after a workout, the better. Wrong. In fact, torturous workouts could be huge wastes of time. “Feeling exhausted” might mean you’ve burned a lot of calories. If your workout goal is burning calories, mission accomplished.

But eating quality food is the most efficient way to get a healthy body fat percentage. You don’t “feel” the fat burn. But it works. So, clearly, “feeling exhausted” is not necessary for fat loss.

How to lose belly fat:

Eat quality food and eliminate junk food. This will allow you to eat until you’re satisfied. And give you energy to work hard during the day. And it will get you a healthy body fat percentage. Eating only quality food allows your workouts to target a better goal: toning your muscles. No torture. No exhaustion. Just smart training.

If you’re wasting your time with exhausting exercises, stop. It’s not smart. It could even lead to irreversible injuries. Including macular degeneration for men.(1) If your goal is losing weight, you do not need to perform exhausting exercises than often damage joints. Eat efficiently. Work out efficiently.

If you’re not consistently exercising right now, avoid exercise routines that push you to exhaustion. These works may tire you too much and hinder you from building consistent exercise habits, especially if you work and are already tired from a demanding job.
