I think it may depend on the exercise type as well.
Playing hockey for 3 hours straight, on only my 12g of carbs I was having, wasn't a problem this past month. Just as you do many activities on low-carb.
However, weight lifting specifically, may work differently than mostly cardio-based activities (in that your goal is to create micro-tears of the muscle which must then repair themselves) and why the right types of carbs immediately after the workout can help.
