No energy

Hi gents,
Find myself feeling very flat lately. Getting hard to get up and gym in the mornings.
Tried multivitimans, but not helping much. What do you guys use that works for you?

are u eating enough? are u over training maybe? not enough sleep? those ail affect you, if your calories are too low and you are over training u will become tired and lethargic, this is sortve the only time I suggest a ore work out or something just to push u through 1 or 2 tough work outs... but if this is a daily problem then your body might be giving you a sing as to say I am over worked and under nourished or 1 of the 2

Eating more than enough, don't think I'm over training... This heat we are having is definitely affecting my sleep. I'm sure its that... Didn't go gym this morning, couldn't get up. Really hate missing a day

Maybe check your blood glucose levels.Do have any other symptoms like excessive thirst etc?

Hey man, what is the time difference from waking up to training? Also, what type of training do you do in the mornings?

Maybe try some whey, caffeine, creatine and isotonic. Will give you a kick. Otherwise if your not keen on caffeine caps, try Berroca Boost instead of the caffeine caps.

I'm up at about 4:50am at gym at about 5:20am. Do my weight training then. In the evenings I do my cardio at home. Not a fan of caffeine. Will give the boost ago...

could be a mind thing ....the mind knows the body is in for a hard time so plays games to stop u from going to gym...try to keep a blank mind [when waking ] and get to the gym without thinking about gym when u wake up ?

Try drinking half a lemon squeezed out in a class of water as soon as you wake in the morning.

Its instant energy. Low energy levels can often be blamed on too few fruits in ones diet, and even though we try not to eat fruit due to the simple sugars it does help with enegy. Try it for a few days, if it works you can stop drinking it again until your body fatigues again. Another culprit is too much carbs.

Boost is good stuff for this purpose. Sometimes when I'm at work, I have to go 24hr periods with 6hrs interrupted rest intervals (2hrs here, 3hrs there, 1hr in between ect). Taking something like a Boost helps. Boost also contains some lekker vitamins and minerals for focus.

Boost (Guarana) = Kick
Creatine = Power
Isotonic drink = Energy
Whey = Recovery for muscles & protein synthesis
Boost + Creatine = Amped feeling
Isotonic + Whey = Fuel

:woohoo:
