I just completed day two of Insanity and was wondering if it is normal to get a headache while working out? When I notice it starting to hurt, I take a minute to rest and it goes away, but once I'm pushing myself again, I feel it coming back. Is this normal?

    Here's a good article outlining why you may be experiencing your headaches.

    You may want to try stepping back on the effort a little to see if that helps.
    It's good that you're pushing yourself, but don't hurt yourself. We want you getting healthy, not ending up in the hospital.
    If it keeps persisting, definitely ask your doctor to see what they recommend.
    Keep up the good work.

    Yeah the way that artical describs the neck tightening and causing a headache is EXACTLY what is happening. I guess I need to knock it down a notch. Thanks for the info =)
