Am I the only one that tends to have gas right in the middle of my workout on these damn machines?

    Maybe it's because you're working all that poo down. I usually get on a machine, get into a groove, and immediately have to pee. Really puts a damper in the workout.

    LOL I hate those wobbly boards / vibrating plate things - never liked how they made my butt itchy!

    Me too! But the elliptical in my enemy. As soon as I get on the treadmill though, I have to pee. Doesn't matter if I just peed ten minutes ago, I still have to.

    LOL...:laugh: I have NEVER had this problem....I hope I never do. I think if it ever happened to me I would be so embarrassed I wouldn't show my face at the gym!

    THANK GOD. I was thinking I was the only one that has to pee the second I get on a machine. I hate the looks I get when I step up to get on the elliptical or treadmill and BAM, have to step right back off. :laugh:

    I have that problem too. It seems that exercise tends to get things moving in the intestines. My son says let it loose nobody will ever know. : }

    This is me! And the gas usually happens during crunches, which sucks because I usually end up laughing!

    Similar problem, I workout 1st thing in the morning and I need to use the head 3 times before I am done. It's like clockwork?

    Any exercise will push gas through the intestines.

    :laugh: I fart all the time when I work out. When I went to the gym, I used to feel horrible for the people next to me.

    You are not alone. Just... try to hop off and fart on your way to the water fountain, out of courtesy to anyone next to you. lol.

    Being a spinning instructor has its perks... I am up in front of the class, the music is loud, and I'm nowhere near anyone else, so I am pretty sure my fart stink stays localized around me. I should have my friend Heather sit up front one day after black bean soup for lunch and find out if I'm right... hmmmmm.

    Every time I get on the treadmill the gas builds up in the middle of a good run. Most efforts to hold it in are futile.

    If anyone around you complains, just tell them you're breaking in a new turbocharger. :)

    The real question that comes to mind is why. Why? How does cardiovascular excercise affect your intestinal health. There seems to be a direct connection. I wonder if there is a rush of arterial blood into that area that causes it to move or something like that or is it the motion of the abdominal muscles. I have the same experience. After I jog on the treadmill, it is time for a #2. Have wondered about it for years.
