A morning cup of tea helps me get going, but otherwise, it's all about my workouts. I blog about them frequently at http://personalfitcoach.com

Many years ago a friend showed me some very easy exercises developed by the Native Indians from the Toltec tribe. I've forgotten most of them, but the 2 or 3 I still remember save my day. The main principle is "braking" the stale energy around your body. You could also use some quick Karate-type moves to "brake" the invisible wall around you:-)

Monitoring my thoughts helps too. I've noticed that when I have complaining thoughts, I feel less energetic. Accepting a situation as it is and acting, instead of re-acting, can create miracles - including about the overall energy level.

Yoga is a great way to increace one's energy level!

On my lunch break, I go to the lunch room (or where ever you are) and do a few yoga poses. This energizes me through the rest of the afternoon!

My prefernce is to sit at my desk all day, but it is killing my hips and probably doing my rear end no favors either. To stay energized both mentally and physically, I take the dog for a bracing 45 minute power walk in the morning, and then half way through the afternoon I get up and do laundry or some other physical task. Who would have thought housework would keep me energized?

I love walking my dog! It is a great way to add energy. Fresh air, and time with dog. What can get better than that?

Healthy, high fiber snacks definitely help to get me through the day. I like almonds, apple slices, whole wheat crackers with hummus. And occasionally, a venti iced white mocha from Starbucks assists the healthy snacks!

I work out and start off every day with fresh fruit and oatmeal. I avoid sugar it will give you a small increase and then make you so sluggish. I also try and get a good nights sleep.

I usually don't stay energetic... Ideally I would make sure I ate at regular intervals and got in some exercise though. I know those things would help for sure!

Lots of yoga, walking picnics and dog walking! :)

If I get tired, I give myself a Time Out for a while.
