The scene seems right. An up-tempo song blasts through the speakers around the room. All around you, people race on the treadmill and grunt as they lift weights. An upbeat personal trainer stands nearby, ready to assist at a moment’s notice. Something is not right, though. You're partway through your workout, and you’ve hit a slump. Is it a crash in motivation? Are you low in energy? Maybe just distracted?
Mid-workout slumps happen to even the most committed exercisers. Learn how to avoid these feelings so you can push through and get the most of your workouts instead of heading to the locker room early.
Eat for Energy
A well-balanced diet is necessary for any healthy lifestyle, but it becomes increasingly important when you're exercising.

On days that you plan a heavy workout, you might need to eat even more before you head to the gym. Read What to Eat Before a Workout to learn how to stock up on the “good stuff.”
