Low energy working out

How do you get the energy to workout during a fast? I feel like it’s such a bigger effort to get to the gym, and when I do I don’t have the energy to stay as long as when I’m eating more frequently. Whats your tips to still have the energy to get a good workout in? I’m only a couple weeks in to IF if that helps.

Answer

What kind of food do you eat? Regular food? Low carb?

You could be having a carb crash during fasting times.

I eat low carb, so I don’t have an adjustment during fasting times.

Also, how long are you fasting? If it’s long … are you taking electrolytes?

Answer

Electrolytes help me a bunch. I work out after my 13 hour Night Shift. I usually drink electrolytes during my workout, but before that I drink some black coffee and that’s enough to power me through 45 minute strength training.
