Is it bad to exercise after you eat? Ate dinner about 15 min ago and I have the sudden urge for a jog...will it make me sick?

    I worked out today after eating lunch-I think it depends on your body. If you feel yucky, slow down to a walk and enjoy the evening!

    That depends on YOU! Everyone is different when it comes to exercise after eating. I don't exercise right after a full meal because my performance is pathetic. (Oxygen is diverted to your digestive tract, etc.) I DO like to have a light carb-based snack beforehand. Give it a try and see what happens...:drinker:
