How to maintain an exercise routine when you're tired

Aligning exercise with your natural chronotype can boost performance and adherence, but consistency is key. The best time to exercise is when you can commit, though late afternoon may offer peak strength. Low-effort activities can increase energy, and reducing barriers like starting with short sessions is effective. Persistent fatigue requires evaluating sleep, nutrition, and training load. Building motivation through systems, variety, purpose, and social accountability is more effective than relying on willpower.
