Does not hurt to get a six pack? I feel sick after workouts?

[Anonymous]

I've been doing a lot of stomach targeting exercises and last night I came back home with a pounding head ache, nausea and a little gassy and tightness in the chest. I don't know why.

I meant "does it hurt..."

Perhaps you are over doing your workouts?
You need to find the right balance of exercising, like you cannot just focus on working out your stomach or mid section until you see those abs. It takes time.

That sick feeling could be from over working your abdomen area, let the muscles adjust to the activity and always do some warm up twists and stretches before anything. Also, be sure you're eating properly and enough calories to burn off when working out. That headache could be your body's way of telling you I have no energy left, or I am dehydrated.

I used to get severe headaches from jogging. It turns out I wasn't eating enough and I couldn't sustain my lengthy run without awful pressure in my head. I'd get dizzy and everything.

Stay healthy, and give your body a chance to recover and adjust to the workouts. You'll get there soon enough :)

The most important thing with working out hardcore is to make sure you are getting plenty of water and the right amount of calories. If it makes you feel sick then try going a little lighter on the next workout

Hmm I've had this, honestly I don't think there's much you can do about it! Just make sure you don't eat before it or after, and take your time with the exercises, don;t rush it or over exert yourself

Exercising at a heavy rate causes blood flow to be taken away from the stomach, causing nausea. Dehydration and over hydration can also be causes of feeling sick.

It sounds more like a lack of sugar. You probably used all your direct energy in your muscles. Did you feel very sore too?
