    If anyone say's they don't do it, they are lying. It all has to do with movement. The more you move the more your gut moves. So it is perfectly normal to fart while working out.

    Anyone else burp like crazy when they work out?

    Now that you mention it...YES, when I'm running on the treadmill. Also I get terrible case of heartburn:sad:

    The real question that comes to mind is why. Why? How does cardiovascular excercise affect your intestinal health. There seems to be a direct connection. I wonder if there is a rush of arterial blood into that area that causes it to move or something like that or is it the motion of the abdominal muscles. I have the same experience. After I jog on the treadmill, it is time for a #2. Have wondered about it for years.

    Increased movement increases parastalsis (the movement of the intestine). Thus the reason it is so important to get up and move. Exercise increases everything. You think better, you pee more and you poop more. It is all inter-related. The faster you move, the faster your gut moves. That is why you have to go poop after your jog. It is a great thing.

    Also, if you think about it, most people who are sendentary, have chronic constipation.

    My husband always says he's burning calories as he's running and passes gas.
    Okay works for me if it works for you =)

    LMAO. my girlfriend stays away from me on the elliptical. I tend to use it 30-60 min after dinner and its non-stop farts. I used to feel bad.

    you should not eat prior of a work out , you do afterwards

    But if I work out in the evening, does that mean I shouldn't eat until after i work out? I'm confused?

    You're not eating enough. Plus your body is in starvation mode.

    Too bad you couldn't take your dog to the gym (it's always the dogs in our house, never a human :laugh: )

    I get a lot of Fart power at the gym as well... But protein farts.... man do they smell!!! But I let them rip none the less...

    When you are putting all your effort into a deadlift, the last thing you care about is holding in a fart...

    Come on just let them rip!

    Lol fart power... Oh man.

    I don't really get gassy during workouts. While I'm sleeping though... It's why I'm scared to sleep on a plane. I know I'll gas out the cabin one day.
