Lack of exercise

Regular exercise and physical health are necessary for the proper functioning of the body and mind as well as to boost energy levels. Stress can be reduced by exercise as well. Finding the motivation to exercise might be challenging when you are tired. However, to increase your energy levels, forcing yourself to go for a walk, jog, or bike ride may be the solution.

A group of often tired, sedentary people was selected by University of Georgia researchers. For six weeks, they made some of the participants do 20 minutes of low- to moderate-intensity exercise three times a week. They let the others carry on with their sedentary lifestyle. By the end of the research, the participants who had started exercising had 20% more energy. Those who were currently exercising at a moderate intensity reported a 49% decrease in fatigue. Even more significantly, those who regularly engaged in low-intensity exercise reported feeling 65% less tired.
