Ever gotten sick after a workout?

I like to puke after working out!

May want to experiment next time. Stop drinking large amounts of water 30 mins before and after your workout and just sip during. 40 oz. is a lot of liquid to have sloshing around in there. It would be enough to make me ill.

I agree with this. A ton of water can really effect you. Google water toxicity

Try sipping that water instead. I would hurl that up even on a brisk walk around the yard with the mower.

Try working out at a different time of day. Also check with the doctor. They may need to check your blood pressure and run some blood tests to make sure you don't have something goin on. Just some advice. Plus drink lots of water and eat 30 minutes before working out. But ya, doctor time forREAL!

Did you eat before working out? Working out on an empty stomach makes me feel ill.

that's what I was thinking. Even something small. A couple slices of apple or something like that. Your body has already gone without food for a while and the cardio will burn off those fruit carbs pretty quickly.

And yes sip the water. I drink water during exercise but only a couple of small gulps at a time to wet my mouth again.

Wear a heart rate monitor. You may have overdone it (heart rate may have been too high for too long) or gotten too hot. This will definitely cause you to puke. I had this problem more so when I first started working out than I do now, but occasionally when I push myself too hard or get too hot, I still get the nausea. For example, the time I attempted Boot Camp, I completed 2 out of 3 circuits and had to leave the class before I embarrassed myself in front of everyone.

I had that happen when I drank coffee way too close to the time of my high impact aerobics class. When I finished I felt really weird and basically had to lay down.

40oz of water in that short of time does seem pretty excessive too. I think I would barely go through 8-12 ounces in that time. Drinking too much water too fast can be dangerous because it dilutes the sodium in your body, which then causes your body to steal sodium from your cells to balance it out, causing your cells to swell with fluid.

Yeah, its happened a couple times usually on Leg Days when i push a lil too hard.. i also popped a blood vessel in my eye before, not cool

It is not unusual for people to get nauseated when starting a very strenuous workout like a hight intensity interval training regiment. Your body is not used to that kind of stress so it is trying to reach homeostasis. Are you doing a HIIT workout on the elliptical?

Im my humble opinion, 40 oz of water in a 20 minute workout is way too much, especially if you are doing a HIIT workout. All that extra water in your stomach is probably causing the nausea. So, I agree with MillerLB83. My workouts are 60 minutes long, 6 days a week and I only down about 16-20 oz during those workouts. Then hydrate with a 12 oz. recovery drink within 30 minutes of the workout.

I don't know if you can possibly sweat out 40 oz of water in 20 minutes. I would suggest sipping no more than 12-16 oz of water during your workout if you are sweating profusely, then during cool down sip more if you feel dehydrated. You should only need about 64-80 oz of water per day to stay hydrated.

Hope this helps.

Shoot I did this about 2 weeks ago, I ran 10 miles and got home felt awesome took a long shower and about 20 min later decided to eat. I had some chocolate milk and immediately regretted it....I couldn't eat or even move for the next 4 hours.

I'm fairly sure I was to dehydrated from my run screwed with my body.

I would look into information about long-distance running and stomach troubles- there are a lot of factors at play - water, fiber, carbs, protein, heat, heart rate, blood sugar, medicines you are taking, vitamins you may be missing, etc

only time i feel sick after working out is if i dont eat before i work out.
