Hey everyone,

I’m almost 40 and recently got back into training after a few years off + some burnout and sleep issues.

What surprised me — even a 30–40 min strength + boxing session leaves me drained for days (low mood, irritability, feels like my nervous system can’t recover).

Now I’m trying to take it slower and rebuild step by step.

Anyone else experienced this? What was hardest when getting back into shape, and what helped?
