That FATIGUE

Committed to a workout but you noticed your fatigue, although your strength is increased you notice a change. There are several reasons this may be occurring I’ll share a few

1. Sleep- are you getting enough. Being sleep deprived will affect your workouts and you are starting fatigue so yes expect it. There are supplements that can give you a boost but it will be short. You gotta get that sleep.
2. Nutrition- Yes, a deficit is necessary if your goal is to loose weight and tone. But if you are exercising more and especially if you’re lifting you must increase that protein and vegetables intake. A deficit in nutrition does not mean living on the verge of starvation.
3. Hydration- it’s important, poor hydration will fatigue you. Our bodies require hydration and if we’re working out a bit extra. There are many sources telling you how much water to drink. Some say 8 glasses, others say 1/2 your body weight. Honestly I say drink it. Your body will tell you when it’s enough. There are days 8 glasses maybe great and 1/2 your body weight is good. I know a few trainers that drink a gallon and those that compete the week prior to drink 2 to 3 gallons. I’m applauding them. I’d be in the that little room most of the day and night. Their purpose is to remove excess fluid and flush for greater definition of the muscles. Please note this is not a daily routine. Too much water can cause other medical issue
4. Be sure you are taking care of yourself. Sometimes that fatigue is telling us we have a bug. A little something is going on. Listen to the body. I always say have a relationship with the body so you know.
5. Take care of yourself,
