Things to think about...
Lack of Energy
Mid-workout energy slumps happen to even the most committed exercisers. You start out good and energized, when all of a sudden your energy plummets and you have to drag yourself through the rest of your workout. There are a lot of things that you do that can affect your energy, taking the proper steps will keep you from heading to the locker room early.
Food
A well-balanced diet is necessary for everyone, but it becomes even more important when you're exercising. If you start to crash mid-workout, what you did or didn't eat beforehand could be to blame. Proper planning of your meals and snacks will give your body steady fuel. Eating too heavy of a meal before your workout can leave you feeling slow and sluggish, while skipping a meal deprives your body of the fuel it needs to finish your workout. Everyone is different but it is recommended to eat a small snack about an hour and a half before hitting the gym.
Rest Up
Rest means both sleep and workout recovery. Make sure you are getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night, or your progress and energy levels will suffer.
Not giving your body enough rest for recovery after workouts can be just as detrimental. Your muscles need time to rest and repair themselves, so take a day off in between strength training session to allow your muscles to heal and your joints to relax. Overtraining can not only lead to fatigue, but it can set your up for injuries.
Lack of Carbs
Carbohydrates are your body's number one source of fuel, powering everything from your brain to your muscles. If there are not enough carbs in your system to provide your exercising muscles with energy, your performance and energy will suffer. Choose healthy carbs like whole grains and fruits and vegetables to fuel your body at all times- during a workout and at rest.
Dehydration
When you exercise, sweating cools your body down, which is why it is so important to replenish that fluid you are losing. It is recommended to drink water before and after your workout, while also drinking a few ounces every 15-20 minutes of exercise. Don’t wait for thirst to set in- if you are thirsty, your body is telling you it is already dehydrated.
The main key to avoiding hitting the energy wall is finding out why you’re hitting it in the first place. Take a good look at your habits, make some changes and keep yourself energized and running strong each time you hit the gym.

Food
A well-balanced diet is necessary for everyone, but it becomes even more important when you're exercising. If you start to crash mid-workout, what you did or didn't eat beforehand could be to blame. Proper planning of your meals and snacks will give your body steady fuel. Eating too heavy of a meal before your workout can leave you feeling slow and sluggish, while skipping a meal deprives your body of the fuel it needs to finish your workout. Everyone is different but it is recommended to eat a small snack about an hour and a half before hitting the gym.
Rest Up
Rest means both sleep and workout recovery. Make sure you are getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night, or your progress and energy levels will suffer.
Not giving your body enough rest for recovery after workouts can be just as detrimental. Your muscles need time to rest and repair themselves, so take a day off in between strength training session to allow your muscles to heal and your joints to relax. Overtraining can not only lead to fatigue, but it can set your up for injuries.
Lack of Carbs
Carbohydrates are your body's number one source of fuel, powering everything from your brain to your muscles. If there are not enough carbs in your system to provide your exercising muscles with energy, your performance and energy will suffer. Choose healthy carbs like whole grains and fruits and vegetables to fuel your body at all times- during a workout and at rest.
Dehydration
When you exercise, sweating cools your body down, which is why it is so important to replenish that fluid you are losing. It is recommended to drink water before and after your workout, while also drinking a few ounces every 15-20 minutes of exercise. Don’t wait for thirst to set in- if you are thirsty, your body is telling you it is already dehydrated.
The main key to avoiding hitting the energy wall is finding out why you’re hitting it in the first place. Take a good look at your habits, make some changes and keep yourself energized and running strong each time you hit the gym.
Things to think about...
Lack of Energy
Mid-workout energy slumps happen to even the most committed exercisers. You start out good and energized, when all of a sudden your energy plummets and you have to drag yourself through the rest of your workout. There are a lot of things that you do that can affect your energy, taking the proper steps will keep you from heading to the locker room early.

The Mind F*#k
The human body is capable of amazing feats of strength and endurance. We’ve heard stories of normal people performing superhuman acts when faced with life or death situations. So why is that the last five reps are so hard... the last 400m run is so slow....five more burpees surely feels like it will kill you??? At some point during any given brutal workout, the brain makes the body stop. Lots of thoughts happen during those brief moments of reflection. Some people think of how much work they have left, or how much damn work they have already done. Some people think about quitting. Some people look at the dry erase board and hope the reps somehow became less. Some people stare at the weight and hope it is somehow getting lighter. Some people actually think that they are going to die. Obviously, the body has plenty left in the tank since we always seem to manage finishing any given workout, walk around afterward, chit chat and then drive home. Some people even do MORE work after a workout.
So what is the issue? It is the "mind fuck." You are suddenly at war with your own body. Intense workouts are very demanding of your physical capability, and let’s face it, they just plain suck to do and you know it before you start. Fatigue weighs heavily on your mindset, and your ability to push your body a little bit farther. Your body is capable, but mentally you are not quite there yet. The mind fuck happens at different stages for everyone, and there are some superhuman athletes out there who definitely don’t experience it as often or as soon as the rest of us mere mortals.
The brain and the body work together beautifully. The body has a great sense of self-preservation.We flinch when startled. We sleep when tired. We eat when hungry. When we begin to think we are unable to go on, the brain shuts down the machine. We simply cease to function and have to reboot the brain to get going again.
So, how do you remedy this situation? Keep training hard. Push yourself a little bit more everyday. Teach your brain that you are not going to die from any given workout. You train the mind right along with the body. In a recent post I stated, “How far are you willing to go to kick your own ass?” You will be willing to go farther as you get stronger both mentally and physically.
