Why Do We Get Low Energy Levels?
Ever had one of those days where you just don’t want to get out of bed?
You’ve had more than enough sleep but you’re still so tired that the alarm clock has become your mortal enemy!
What gives?
For men, this is a really common issue
And more than likely…
You’ve FORGOTTEN how good it feels to have high energy levels
So stop struggling through the day feeling down
Instead….
Discover WHY this happens and action steps to fix these issues for good
You Don’t Have Enough Muscle to Age Gracefully
As you age, especially past the ‘primetime’ years of your twenties and early thirties – a few really important shifts happen in your body
Let’s take a look…
#1 – Testosterone Drops as You Age
Your testosterone levels are responsible for building strength & muscle
It is THE hormone we are interested in for muscle and strength gains
And with more and more men being highlighted for horomone replacement therapy by their doctor, I believe this is an issue all of us guys should be taking a close look at
#2 – You begin to lose muscle and strength
Ever played a sport, taken a few years off, then gone back?
You probably found what your mind believes you can do is a LOT different to what your body actually ends up doing
Well think of aging as the same thing
Essentially; “you lose your skills as you age”
When we understand that strength is a trainable skill (due to re-wiring of neural circuits)
…then it’s easy to see that the SKILL of strength is lost
..and along with it, your muscle
#3 – Losing Muscle Damages Your Health
Think about this:
If you have less muscle than a few years ago
Then daily tasks now require more energy to complete
And strenuous tasks put an immense STRAIN on your heart
Hell, even things that didn’t used to tire you out could be a potential heart attack
Scary stuff, right?
Which leads me to our main TAKE HOME point…
Low Energy Levels are a result of Not putting enough Energy in!
Confused?
Don’t be.
It IS counter-intuitive, I know
But if you’re not doing enough work in the gym and eating clean
Then energy levels will continue to drop
Plus the issue of potentially low testosterone combined with losing muscle and strength…
…not to mention the greater strain on your poor old heart…
Leads the body to DROP energy levels massively
Your sex drive drops (due to low testosterone)
Increased risk of heart attack
You feel lazy
Lethargic
Don’t want to get out of bed in the morning
And it SUCKS to feel like this
Trust me, I know.
But I now know how to deal with those sorts of days
And in the bigger picture
How to make sure that 9 times out of 10 I wake up feeling amazing and energized for the day
Consider that I get up at 4:30am most of the time and run a company too
You’d think I’d be tired and have no energy
But my training is better than ever
I’ve just set personal records in ALL of my lifts at the gym
…and I feel happy, relaxed and ready to work each day (or at least have the energy to push myself when I don’t feel up to working or training)
