Nauseous during a workout?

Sometimes we are so psyched about our workout that we hit it hard, then end up feeling nauseous and possibly throwing up during it. This is typically caused from doing too much too quickly, eating immediately before a workout or not eating at all. When you feel your tummy begin to churn the best thing to is find the nearest bench or chair and take a seat. Once seated, place your elbows on your knees and lean forward, hanging your head between your legs. Begin to breath deeply through your nose increasing blood flow to your brain and try to relax your body until the feeling passes. Once the feeling passes take small sips of water and decide whether you want to finish your workout at a lower intensity or head home. Next time around be sure to adjust your eating habits and if you are new to working out, ease into your challenging routine so you can prevent this nauseous feeling from creeping up again. If, after a week, you continue to feel sick during your workouts even after you have made these changes, consider seeing your doctor to make sure everything checks out ok.
