Lately I've been losing energy during my workouts. I normally workout for say 40 mins, and towards the end I feel a significant loss in energy, and it significantly affects my determination/motivation - ie "lemme just lift so I can get it over with".
This is a terrible attitude to have, and I'm sure if I had more energy I'd be more motivated.
Anyway, what could causing this? I can't see anything wrong with my diet, I always get a good mixture of p/c/f.
In fact, I have a feeling it has to do with a lack of oxygen, because my head of starts feeling a bit hazy. Why could this be? Could secondary smoking be a possible reason? Cos lots of my firends smoke.
Should I start some cardio to increase my lung capacity?
Also would eating something like a banana before/during a workout help (something to do with potassium and oxygen absorbtion)?
I've tried taking energy drinks during a workout (Lucozade, Gatorade), but they didn't help all that much. I was still feeling the same towards the end, which is why I think it's not diet-related (of course I may be wrong).
Anyway, I'm not too sure what else to think/do - that's why I'm asking here to see what advice you guys have. Thanks!
