In this short motivational monologue, Victoria S. Dorsano addresses people who feel too exhausted to exercise. She argues that feeling tired is actually a sign you should work out, because the body is designed for movement. She cites research indicating that physical activity leads to deeper, higher‑quality sleep, which in turn makes you feel more refreshed upon waking. This creates a positive feedback loop: exercising when tired improves sleep, better sleep restores energy, and the renewed energy makes it easier to keep up with workout goals. Dorsano emphasizes that breaking the “too tired” mindset and choosing to exercise initiates this cycle, ultimately benefiting both body and mind.

If you're somebody who says to themselves, "Ugh, I'm so tired. I don't have enough energy to go to the gym or work out," that is precisely the reason why you should be going to the gym and working out. Our bodies are made to move. They are made to exert energy physically. And when we do so, research shows that we get better and deeper quality sleep. So when we get deeper quality sleep, we wake up feeling more refreshed, and that cycle continues, and we can use that energy to go ahead and continue to work out again. And stick to our workout goals, right? But it starts with really breaking that cycle and making the decision to work out even when you're tired. And then you'll find you'll get better sleep, you'll wake up more refreshed, and again, you'll be able to jump into that positive feedback loop, and your body and mind will thank you for it.
