Are You Exhausted and Stuck in Your Fitness Journey? Here’s Why.

If you’re constantly drained, dreading your workouts, and not seeing results, it’s time to rethink your approach. I’ve been there—pushing through intense HIIT workouts, feeling dizzy, weak, and endlessly hungry. The harder I pushed, the worse it got, and my nutrition suffered because I couldn’t balance my hunger with the right foods.

It got to the point where I hated training. I’d start a program, feel completely exhausted within weeks, and end up quitting, thinking maybe fitness just wasn’t for me. But it wasn’t about me—it was about my approach.

Eventually, I made a change. I swapped HIIT for strength training, reduced my workouts to 30–45 minutes, 3–4 times a week, and focused on fueling my body with proper nutrition—especially protein to support recovery and muscle growth. I limited cardio to one day a week. That shift made all the difference. I felt energized, stronger, and finally saw results.

Why am I writing this? Training without proper nutrition or a sustainable routine won’t get you anywhere. Start small; swap an intense workout for a walk, add protein-rich meals, and find routines you actually enjoy. Progress comes from balance, not burnout.
