    Do you drink enough water before the work out? I've had that before because I failed to drink enough water before my work out.
    I've also had it from just generally pushing myself to my limits... it's not a bad thing unless you might actually vomit... then I'd calm it down a little ;)

    Depends on what "ill" means. I interpreted it to mean nauseous...

    How soon before you work out do you eat? What do you eat before you work out? Are you hydrated enough before you work out? I very rarely drink water while I'm working out, the sloshing alone is enough to make me want to stop!

    Also, don't forget to breathe :wink:

    Yep WATER. I agree, breathing is a big deal. It's amazing how many people focus more on what they're doing, than breathing.

    If you eat too soon before you workout, you might get stomach cramps. Give yourself an hour after eating before working out if you ate veggies, 2 hours if meat/high protein and fat. I never work out on empty.

    If you're getting dizzy, it's likely hydration. But if you are straining and not breathing, you'll do something called the valsalva maneuver (also called vagalling out) which drops your BP and HR by compressing the vagal nerve, and you'll pass out.

    Remember to breathe well!!! I find myself holding my breath unconsciously, and it gives me HORRIBLE headaches.
