Why You’re Crashing Mid-Workout and How to Prevent It

Have you ever started a new workout plan feeling motivated, only to crash halfway through with nausea, dizziness, and exhaustion? You may have experienced exercise-induced orthostatic hypotension - a common condition where your muscles demand more blood, leaving less for your heart and brain. This is often worsened by dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and a deconditioned body. The result? You "bonk" or hit the wall mid-workout, which can drain your confidence. To avoid this, stay hydrated, maintain electrolyte balance, and ease into your workouts gradually. A low-calorie sports drink during your session can help keep you energized and prevent hitting that wall.
