I'm extremely out of shape, and I DREAD exercise because I feel sick for like 2 hours afterwards. Is there a way to avoid this?

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't... it really varies, but it always happens \:0 -

Exactly what I was going to say MelanieCheeks...... I learned from a trainer many years ago.... YOU MUST EAT TO LOSE WEIGHT. I used to meet him at 6:30 am, so he told me to have a slice of whole wheat bread and peanut butter and a small cup of coffee (4oz). You have to give your muscles fuel to work. Think of it like your car.... It won't drive if there's no gas..... GOD BLESS!!!0

Make sure you are staying hydrated and working out in a cool spot. Sometimes getting overheated and being dehydrated will cause that. You should also pay attention to whether you are working out with or without food in your stomach. Maybe you could try a different exercise or different time of day. Don't give up, you can do it .0

What kind of exercise are you doing? Maybe you are pushing yourself too hard? That happens to me when I push myself over my limits. Gotta find that line, and NOT cross it.0

I used to feel sick and dizzy when I first started exercising. It was because I was having lunch at 12/1 and then nothing else till after exercise class at 8.30. It was too long to go without food. Now I make sure I have something before I go even if its just a dry slice of bread. Your body needs fuel if its going to move otherwise its like trying to run a car without petrol.
Of course it could also be that you're trying to do too much too soon.

Thanks, everyone! I think it might be a combination of everything you guys mentioned!0

Maybe you're doing too much. I have gotten very sick feeling when i pushed myself too hard. Try to not over do it. Eat a small amount before you work out. Stay hydrated through out your workout too! They say eat some carbs before you work out and protein afterward! Good luck.0

make sure you are getting enough water before you do any exercise. You have to go slow when you first start out, dont push your self to much. What kinds of exercise are you doing ? I just started back to walking, but I have to take it at a slow pace unitl I feel I can step it up. i have been on program for 2 weeks and I am still at a slow walk. i hope by next week, I can pick up my pace, with out to much huffing and puffing. Good Luck to you.0

If I do an exercise where I'm up and down a lot (like the 30 Day Shred), I may feel sick to my stomach also, but I'm also prone to motion sickness. It helps me to eat something healthy, but easily digestible maybe 30 - 60 minutes prior (like a banana), and to find a focal point and focus on that as much as possible.
Then afterwards, I will slowly slip a protein fruit smoothie or low-fat chocolate milk. It seems to help.

I never thought about the motion sickness thing! I also have an easily upset stomach, especially while in motion, haha. Thanks (:0
