Energy

Eeks......just the thought of rock climbing gives me the willies.

I would think that some conditioning strength exercises as well as proper eating would help.

Have you had a lung function test done? Is it more that you're out of breath or just that your body doesn't have the stamina?

What's the usual food intake to give your body the fuel you need to maintain the energy levels required to rock climb?

Hi Knipps, I'm a pretty avid exerciser too, and sometimes I feel that lack of energy too. Using a B100 complex vitamin has helped a lot with my energy levels, and recently my brother in law (who is a cyclist) turned me on to the Powerbar gel packs. I'd heard of them, just never tried them. I know it sounds strange, but sometimes when I feel a little low on energy in the afternoon and I know I want to go home and exercise, I use one of those little gel packs. The chocolate is my favorite and it also helps to quell the middle of the afternoon junk food urge.
