Trainers say getting nauseous isn't normal. Is it?

if you are really working very hard, like maxiumum effort for a sustained amount of time and really pushing your limits, getting nauseous is normal. If you're training lightly, it's not.

There are debates as to whether you should carry on pushing yourself past the point where you feel like you're going to puke and/or actually puke or not.

Eating too much prior to exercise can cause nausea and vomiting as well, even if you're not pushing yourself *that* hard. Making sure you leave enough time between your last meal and your workout helps with that.

Definitely normal for some of us when we've been pushing hard during our workout. More likely to happen the longer the time from your last meal/snack. Eg doing an early morning workout before breakfast. Carbs help to fuel our workouts by supplying energy quickly. It takes longer for your body to convert stored fat into useable energy for muscle cells. Hope this helps :-)

Feeling nauseous is perfectly normal and actually a good sign. It's your body learning to work properly again during the change over from burning sugar/carbs foods that people are now dependent on and switching to FAT.

Boom!!!

Doing HIIT makes me want to puke.......

I puked the first few times I worked out with a personal trainer No idea if its normal but I doubt its rare!

my brother had a trainer say that in order for him to build muscle and bulk up, he should circuit train and if he feels nauseaus he needs to immediately stop.

all. lies. try doing p90x...i feel nauseaus at some point during every workout. lol i'd say its completely normal and not rare.

To me, it would not be normal. Working out to that point is excessive and seems dangerous. I never have felt nauseous and would slow down if I did.

Yea, I feel nauseated sometimes when I exercise. Particularly if it is only a couple of hours since a large meal.

Also - when I have pushed myself right to my cardio limits I feel sick and have once actually been sick...

My son is a trainer - and he thinks if his people aren't nauseous he hasn't done his job. I am not sure this is good but I am only the mother of a trainer.

Dont know if you been watching the latest season of The Biggest Loser but that Jackson dude spends most of his workout time THROWING UP!

If you gonna work out hard - you gonna hurl.

Watch runners - marathoners.

Lots of them hurl all the time.

Not saying its healthy but its definately normal if you work too hard. Like someone above said, there are various schools of thought as to whether this is healthy to push yourself to the point of retching or not.

As for me, I have felt it once on a run. Suffice to say I stopped and walked until the feeling passed.

I get nauseous sometimes. Especially when I really push it or drink too much water.

I get nausious when I do crunches

So do I.

I had this happen two nights ago. I was doing my first night of month 2 insanity which is the fit test and then max interval circuit. I pushed really hard during the fit test and my HR was really up there and when I was doing low plank obliques, I threw up then about 50 minutes later I threw up again just doing some cardio. I was really exhausted. Then ALL night long, I had a very acidic stomach with heartburn. Not comfortable at all!

I don't think it's abnormal.

I became really nauseated yesterday after pushing myself doing RI30 level 3. Plus, I thought the 1.5-2 hours I waited after supper was long enough but it may not have been. I was trying to do the cooldown stretches when I decided to forget it & lay down on the floor to keep from puking or passing out. Honestly hate when it happens.
