Low energy workout???

Experts say that one in nine premenopausal women in the US is sufficientyly short of iron to compromise aerobic activity(AJCN 3/25/02). A study of about 40 women ages 18-33 who were iron deficient but not quite anemic showed that druing six weeks of aerobic training, those who took iron supplements improved their aerobic capacity twice as fast as other women. So, if your workouts seem to wear you out, have you blood checked for low iron. Extra iron could be your energy fix. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....
