How come some people can work 8 hours straight and then have energy to hit the gym, but if I walk for 1 hour in the treadmil all that I can is lay down for the rest of the day?

I can only speak to my experience but I didn’t really start trying to do any consistent cardio until my mid 20s, and I had absolutely no stamina when I started - I could barely jog around the block without wanting to hurl. it took me time, repetition and stubbornness to build up any real stamina/capacity. and even then I had to “trick” myself using the power of negative thinking*
