For the last couple times that I have worked out, I have been feeling nauseous afterwards. I work out at different times so it just doesn't happen in the mornings. Does anyone have a idea why this is happening to me??

    You should definitely drink more water. That's one sign of dehydration. I typically stop if I get to the point where I feel sick. It's the bodies way of saying slow down and hydrate.

    Google Runners Diarehea or Runners sickness. There is no definete anwser but, some people say its the rush of blood out of the organs and into your legs to help with hard excersice. There are some tips out there too to combat it.

    I found that if I drink 24 ounces of water 20 minutes before I work out and have a carb snack about an hour before hand I feel better. I then have a protein shake right after I workout or run and it helps with nausea.

    Hope this helps!

    You are prob. working really hard and its the lactic acid in your body that builds up and makes you nauseous.. i have had this happen a few times. maybe think about eating 1-2 hours or have a snack 1-2 hours before your work out.. that may help as well as water.

    ive had this problem a few times.. its like your blood sugar gets low.. you lose energy and feel sick.. yea. try eating something before you work out and definetally drink lots of water.

    I have had that when I work out really hard, but at the time I also had some major health issues developing. I am not a doctor, so I can't say what to do. I would suggest if you are really out of shape and have not had a full medical in more than a year, go to your doctor and have one just to make sure it isn't some health issue you need to have dealt with. Even if you are in shape, if this continues I think a doctor visit would be wise. It may just be that you are pushing yourself hard, but now that I am healthy again I can push myself very hard and not get nauseous.

    Good advice! Water and snacks (i.e fuel) will help. Also, pay attention to your body- if you start to feel light headed, or dizzy, slow down and stabilize your heart rate.

    As a big girl, this happens to me if I get too overheated and workout too hard.
