I find exercise to be great for my mental health but have had to adjust expectations: I cannot ride a bike nearly as far, nor work in the yard or house as much without serious breaks and frequent “blah” days when I just can’t get going and sit and read and nap. I also had shoulder surgery and then bilateral knee surgery (injury, not replacements) and have not been able to adequately rehab and get back to reasonable function. I have metastatic disease and am on Lupron + Daralutamide (Nubeqa)

Something I discovered in the last couple of weeks that makes a big difference In energy.
One thing I have found is that electrolytes makes a major difference in energy. A couple of weeks ago I started drinking a liter of electrolytes Before going to the track in the morning at 11. If I don’t drink the electrolytes, I can jog about halfway around the track and then I have to walk halfway because I don’t have enough energy. If I drink the electrolytes, I can jog the whole way around the track for a mile in the morning and the afternoon just from having that electrolyte drink in the morning.
I was making the WHO version of electrolytes, which is a liter of water Two level tablespoons of sugar and a level 1/2 teaspoon of salt. I used tapwater and can drink it down in less than five minutes. If I refrigerate it, it takes forever to drink.
Just something to consider. Plenty of companies make electrolyte drinks you could just buy.
