Is it ok to be sleepy after a workout?

Suggest a multivitamin with vitamin C and look over her diet, might not be enough carbs. -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

Blood sugars can drop drastically, intensity of this drop depends on the workout and the person. This can indeed be the cause of your mom getting sleepy. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
