Ever tried driving with the fuel light on?
You can still move forward… but every hill feels harder.
The performance is sluggish.
And sooner or later, you stall.
That’s what training on low energy does to your body.
You’re showing up. But you’re running on fumes.
🤓 Even mild dehydration and poor carb timing can slash endurance by up to 30% (Journal of Applied Physiology).
And with 75% of adults chronically dehydrated (Harvard, 2017), it’s no surprise so many people hit the wall mid-workout.
💡The Thrive Tip:
To double your stamina in the next 14 days:
Drink 500ml water with a pinch of sea salt before training (hydration + electrolytes) or buy a quality electrolyte with sodium, magnesium, potassium and chloride.
Place carbs around movement, not at your desk (fuel the engine when you’re moving).
Eat a protein-rich snack within 30 mins after training (recovery = energy for next time). Protein shake if necessary.
Your body isn’t lazy.
It’s under-fuelled.
Give it the right mix, and you’ll notice the difference in two weeks.
If your workouts feel harder than they should, which of these fixes will you try first?
