Me.. Understandably old and tired or just lazy?

[BarrelOfOtters]

I'm 54, I work full time.

I've been going to the gym 3 times a week for 2 months, also a Pilates class on a Monday (one of those ones that's quite full on even if you don't look like you are doing much and I ache the next day).

This weekend I was out on Friday and Saturday and had family round for dinner last night. I did some full on proper gardening, shifting loads of heavy bags, dug a (small) pond on the weekend. And 3 dog walks.

Am I just being lazy to be feeling tired and not want to go to Pilates tonight, I'm knackered, I ache from the gardening, and I've only had one decent night's sleep in the past 3.

I know I'll feel better if I go, but I can't help thinking a night off might invigorate me more for the gym tomorrow.

Hi op I'm 54 and I would feel exactly the same. However I have found that exercising seems to put back some energy in me so I don't know!

I’d be knackered from that and I’m 46. What time does Pilates finish though? You might sleep better if you’ve been.

op could you do some pirates on YouTube at home via your TV? That way you can get some exercise in - doesn't have to be a full hour, search for shorter sessions, have supper/chill at home then have an early night?

Pilates finishes 7.30 - and won't eat till I get about 8....

sorry pilates

Pirates on you tube sounds way more fun.

Hi op well you could get home, eat your tea, watch tv or whatever for an hour or so then do a bit of pilates?
