The Best Energy Bar
Surprise! The best energy bar isn’t one you can eat. (And, no, it’s not one where you can order a beer either.)
The best energy bar is the barbell.
Researchers from the University of Georgia studied the effects of exercise on fatigue in sedentary college women. Fourteen subjects did 2 workouts and 1 control session, and then filled out some “profile of mood state” forms. The results showed that the exercise made them feel more energetic.
So if you are in a low-energy slump, slip in for a quick workout. Heck, you can even do a bodyweight workout in your office mid-afternoon to get yourself going. Do bodyweight squats, push-ups, lunges, and planks to energize your body in just a few short minutes.
