Core exercises (T25) and nausea

EbonyGlitter

Hello all!

My problem: Chronic nausea since beginning T25. I'm in week six (so Beta week one) but the nausea has been present since the beginning. It rarely occurs during exercise but if I work out late in the evening I become disgustingly queasy shortly after the session and it usually continues into the following morning. It doesn't seem to matter if I eat before or after I exercise, I've experimented with timing to no avail. It is usually much worse after doing anything core-related. I barely make it through those moves anyway and it feels like simply TRYING makes my body want to eject all contents. My abdominal muscles feel strange - not exactly painful, but pitifully weak. It's hard to even engage them if I'm not upright. I carry a good amount of my weight in my belly and sometimes wonder if that could be why I have so much trouble with anything core-related. It has been suggested that I may be pushing myself too hard, which could be true, but I am still learning my fitness limits so I'm not sure exactly what "too far" feels like yet. I tried dialing back the intensity today (Rip't Circuit) but I'm still sickeningly uneasy in the belly region. I want to know if anyone has any experience with this, or can give me any helpful advice.

Much thanks to anyone that can shed a little light on this for me!

FYI: I am currently waiting to get in with my doctor to make sure that this isn't a medical issue.

T25 might be too intense for you. If you are feeling nauseous, it means that you're body isn't ready for the intensity. Find something that is lower impact. I've felt nauseous once or twice while working out, but never constantly, and that's how I knew I had pushed myself beyond my limit.
