Ep.14 - Tired but Trying - Training when you’re running on Empty

We all have those days—when you’re completely drained, mentally foggy, and physically spent. But in the back of your mind, there’s still that voice saying, “You should train.” So what do you do when you’re running on empty? Push through or rest? Move or recover?In this episode, I dive into the real struggle of staying consistent with your fitness goals when you’re exhausted. We explore the difference between true fatigue and low motivation, the science behind how movement can actually generate energy, and how to know when it’s time to train smart or take a step back and recover.This is a conversation for the overworked, overwhelmed, and overtired—those of us who are doing our best, even when we’re not at our best. You’re not lazy. You’re just human. And this episode will help you find the balance between listening to your body and not letting exhaustion define your progress.Enjoyed this episode?
