Training Over 45 Minutes

What Happens to Your Body When You Exceed 45 Minutes in Training?

When you extend your workouts beyond 45 minutes, your body undergoes several physiological changes. While training longer can enhance endurance and strength, it also increases the risk of fatigue and energy depletion. Here's what happens:

Glycogen Depletion: Your muscles rely on glycogen for energy. After about 45 minutes, glycogen stores begin to deplete, leading to fatigue and decreased performance.


Increased Cortisol Levels: Prolonged training elevates cortisol, a stress hormone that can lead to muscle breakdown if not managed properly.


Hydration and Electrolyte Imbalance: Sweating during extended workouts can cause significant loss of water and electrolytes, impacting muscle function and overall performance.


Energy Deficit: Without adequate nutrition, your body may struggle to maintain energy levels, leading to decreased endurance and recovery issues.

    To combat these challenges, our OX Energy Mix is designed to provide sustained energy, replenish electrolytes, and support optimal performance. Stay hydrated, stay energized, and conquer your workouts with confidence!
