Does anybody else get dizzy during workouts?

It's happened to me as well but it's gone away. I was surprised because I thought that should only happen if I wasn't eating enough, I'm still not sure what caused it. But please be sure not to overdo it and give yourself a moment to rest when you feel dizzy!

oh if it happens when your moving up and down. you might be getting up to quickly. all your blood is rushing to the muscle groups your working out, and standing up suddenly causes the blood to pull away from your brain. making you dizzy.

Can be:

You aren't eating enough (low blood sugar)

Dehydration.

Low blood pressure.

vertigo

Or something serious - I would suggest calling your doctor. It happens to me, but I have low blood pressure and quick movement changes like that mess with me.

Happens to me because of low blood pressure. And then I see all white and look all drunk. Happens at work a lot when I suddenly stand up.

Do a blood test and see where your sugar and iron levels are and then You can see how to fix it.
But quick fixes are eat something like a corny bar before workout eat some iron filled food like pork liver and drink more water esp. during Your workout.

You could also be locking your knees when you get up. We used to have girls drop like flies in my dance classes and it was always because they were locking their knees. Try to keep them slightly bent the whole time and be as loose as you can with your movements

Aloha from Hawaii,

I have read these posts, and am so thankful that there is such a wonderful online community of people who all share to acquire such a healthy knowledge and pure knowledge. This encourages me. I was a Harvard pre-med student and then later Yale, but couldn't accept the coercion in western medicine, sadly, for obvious reasons.

When was your last meal from the time of your dizzy experience? This is critical. Remember, dizziness, weakness, being tired, etc. is invariably connected to the flow of blood in the body. Hence the wide range of replies you've received viz., locking your knees, sugar, iron levels, etc. The key is proper blood flow which provides the distribution of essential nutrients to the body. Oxygen to the brain being key here, as this is the body's primary way, combined with Water, in its functions. Everyone is in a different place, and for some, it's hard to spiritually translate what going-on in their bodies, especially in our culture due to the amount of information we as Americans in general must process.

Sometimes we over extend our body's capacity. Drinking plenty of fluids, and listening to what your body tells you is first and foremost in preventing and overcoming these types of stigmas.

I hope this helps.

Namaste

I do at times which is why I drink lots of water and walk a lot to keep my blood pumping and lungs breathing well.

This happens to me as well. More so during heavy weight sessions. Like last night I did some legs which I can push a fair bit of weight. I find myself ever so slightly dizzy but I also can't seem to focus very well. I'm looking accross the room but everything is out of focus but stuff closer to me is IN focus even though I'm not looking there. It's like my peripheral vision is in focus, if that makes any sense.

No clue whats causing it.

One other thing that may sound silly, but don't forget to breath. Me and a friend were talking about it the other day and there are times when we are working out that we are so into what we are doing we forget to breath. It doesn't happen much anymore, but I used to be really bad about it when weight lifting in high school. Good luck

I'll get dizzy and even go so far as blacking out if I workout on an empty stomach, or I have too big of a rolling calorie deficit. Usually takes about an hour.
