It’s pretty hard for me to feel motivated in the morning. I teach at 9am and it takes a few minutes to feel clear and awake. I definitely have fun during teaching, especially Zumba but yes, I crash afterwards, I feel fatigued and sore. I fight taking naps but I do sit and rest for a little while.

@lisadiane Wow, you teach Zumba!! That class takes a lot of energy and I would be the student, not the teacher. No wonder you feel tired after teaching.
I no longer have the endurance I once did for cross-country skiing. It's a huge disappointment for me. I have realized that I'm reaching for a goal that is neither obtainable or realistic for me. So, I'm working on adjusting my expectations. Going forward I will rely on technique and no more pushing to see if I can go as long or as hard as I did in the past. This is just me. I'm not teaching anyone so I'm not the mentor in front of the class as you are in Zumba. I rest when I feel my body is tired.
How often are you teaching Zumba or other aerobic classes?

@lisadiane, I'm glad to hear you can maintain teaching your classes. Before my cancer I enjoyed walking as my exercise and since then have not been able to return to it. I know it would be a good stress releaser but energy is not there.
More recently blood levels have been dropping even though I am told I am still in normal limits. At times this makes me feel a little lightheaded.
Keep on pushing thru it just so glad you are able to do something you love.
