Is it bad that every time I work my abs it makes me want to throw up?

[ravenitalia01]

Okay, I know that I need to work my abs more but ever time I do, I want to throw up. I've almost done it recently and probably would've if i hadn't stopped. I told my friend about it and she said that I shouldn't do any ab workout because of this. I don't know why I get this but I would like to know if I should stop or not.

Side note: I'm trying to get into shape for snowboarding season. That kinda why I keep doing it.

I have the same problem but I came to observe that whenever I do ab exercises, I shouldn't eat or drink (about an hour and a half) before it. If I do, I want to throw up. So I keep on sipping small amounts of muscle protein drinks while exercising.

Well that depends if you're eating well too right and staying hydrated, a lot of the times we may experience nausea from either pushing too hard and or lack of nutrition.

i would consult with your doctor, maybe he can answer this one. performing abdominal exercises shouldn't make you feel the need to vomit unless you're going hardcore and getting light headed.

I think you are going at it too hard. Like Bert said, see your doctor, but I think you should also consult a personal trainer to get you on track with your goals.

It's probably I'm pushing myself too hard. I always have made a habit out of doing that. I can't get a personal trainer so I don't exactly know what to do.

Try checking out some youtube videos then.

That's what I usually do, but All the ones I've tried make me want to puke. I found this one and not only did it make me want to puke if I stopped, my abs are so sore today I couldn't go to my guitar lessons because I basically can't move 😕

Do you go to a gym, or work out at home?

[ravenitalia01]

I workout at home. The gyms around here are too expensive

[truthbeknown]

It might be worth your time just to have one or two personal sessions just to make sure your technique is right.

[ravenitalia01]

I'll try to find something.

Work your way into ab workouts, plus they are not something you workout everyday, I usually work mine until I start getting sore then give it a rest and leave them alone for a few days. When they are not sore again I'll work on them some more.
