    Make sure you are eating protein about 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after you workout. This will help rebuild all the muscle tissues that were broken down during your workout. Make sure you hydrate PLENTY. This helps keep the fluids in your body evenly distributed, that way you don't get light headed. Also, don't push yourself to hard to fast. Consistent up and down or vigorous motions while your new to exercise can be hard for your head. Similar to motion sickness, you balance signals don't match up with what your seeing and you'll get knots in your stomach. This can happen for a bit after you workout. So build up to more intense exercises, eat lots of protein around your workout time, and drink loads of water.

    Are you brand new to exercise, or a seasoned vet that thought the workout would be easy and got this unexpected suprise?

    If the latter go to the doctor. If the former, do less and build up length and intensity gradually. A few minutes more here, a few percent faster there.

    Start slow. Work your way up.
