Boost Your Energy Levels: How Exercise Can Combat Fatigue

I know what you’re thinking. Exercising will make you more tired right? Well, that’s actually a common misconception. In fact, regular exercise is the best way to increase your energy. It strengthens your heart, improves blood flow, and releases endorphins, those feel-good chemicals that elevate your mood and reduce pain, making you feel more energized throughout the day. 

Sure, you might feel tired after a workout, but that’s just your body using the energy you gave it. The tiredness is temporary, and it’ll soon be followed by a surge of energy and better sleep. But where should you get started? 

East Memphis Athletic Club offers many exercise options so that anyone can find their right fit. You can work one-on-one with a fitness coach or with a team. Natalie Rooney, who owns East Memphis Athletic Club (EMAC) with her husband and son, says their gym gives a true community feel. 

“So when you’re here, you’ll never see anybody take pictures of themselves,” Natalie said. “It’s not about anything, except for that place that you’re going to de-escalate, you’re going to work on you.”

Natalie understands that everyone’s fitness journey is unique, so there are several ways to work on yourself at EMAC. For the one-on-one option, a dedicated personal trainer will provide expert coaching and create a customized workout and nutrition plan to help you reach your full potential. 

If you enjoy the energy and motivation that comes with group workouts, EMAC’s group fitness classes are a perfect fit. From high-intensity Spin classes to the mindful practice of Yoga, there’s a class for everyone. Their signature team training sessions offer a unique blend of functional training and HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) in a group setting, fostering a supportive and motivating environment.

For those who prefer a self-directed approach, EMAC’s well-equipped open gym provides everything you need for a personalized workout. The team at EMAC also recognizes the connection between diet and exercise, and they have a registered dietician on-site.
