If you feel lethargic before, during, or after your workouts, you should have a blood test done to determine your iron status. Having an iron deficiency is a common problem among women who exercise, in particular when it comes to cardiovascular exercise.
A severe loss of iron can lead to anemia (deficiency of red blood cells). Since iron is a key component to hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit (percentage of blood composed of red blood cells).
So you if you do nothing but cardiovascular work, you might be in danger. If you are iron deficient, you may need to take an iron supplement, I suggest taking it with vitamin C to help increase its absorption.
