Am I okay and how do I stop this?

Lately (past few days) i get nauseous after i only exercise for like 7-10 mins. Before (week or so ago) i could push myself for an hour or more. But now it's a few mins and I'm nauseous plus my hip starts to pain, i don't eat or drink before i exercise and i don't immediately go to the extreme stuff. This really sucks coz i want to exercise again and i don't know how to push myself or get over the nausea/pain. PLEASE help me also my legs are very stiff so it's hard to move them, tips for that? Thanks

You could be getting sick. Just take a week off and go back. Sometimes your body just needs a good rest from exercise. Excise can be an addiction. If you can't stop for a week and not feel horrible, than you do have issues with it. Just relax and take a break. Pain and soreness is normal. You could have even over worked some things and those muscles are pulled. They will always heal, just need to give it time.

Do you drink a lot of water during the day?
If not, exercising will only dehydrate you even more and that can cause nausea

I do drink water, 1l a day at least

[Rainbowdove]

1L is really little.. especially if you are exercising
you need around at least 2.5L, 3L if you're exercising

That much? Wow. I try to drink as much as i can take but how's that possible?

[Rainbowdove]

Don't drink only when you are thirsty. drink throughout the day

Pain is a signal to stop. You might be overdoing it. Cramps I thought were from dehydration

In the beginning when i started to exercise it would cramp then it stopped and now it's back again but after a few mins of not doing anything the pain goes away then i start to exercise again but the pain comes back

[reptocarl]

What you used to do and what you can are two different things. Slow it down and drink more

[Asker]

Aren't people suppose to push themselves even through the pain?

[reptocarl]

That's the old thinking. That would apply if you wanted to be a Navy Seal and even then the vast majority can't make it

[Asker]

So should i really only go until i start to get a pain?

[reptocarl]

Well again pain is the body's natural way to say stop
