Ab workouts that won’t make me lightheaded or dizzy?

[Anonymous]

I get super lightheaded with certain motions which sucks. I am a healthy person.

You shouldn't be feeling lightheaded or dizzy. I drink an ultra fine oats / collagen + green superfood mix about 1-2 hours before a workout. However, all of my workouts do not include any lying on the floor or bouncing around movements.

I use an Isokinator. But when I used to train abs separately I used the Bullworker.

You need to eat something or drink a bit of shakes before working out.

Those are signs of getting low blood sugar. Not a disease but rather your body isn't used to not having sugar.

I usually eat after my morning workout and I cut out sugar. Does low blood pressure just mean eat something?

[oddwaffle]

Yeah you have low blood sugar because you haven't eaten for a while before working out.

As you workout, you body burns the sugar inside your blood 1st, if you haven't eaten anything then you have no sugar so your body will panic and try to extract that from your liver which will take a while. In the meantime, whatever sugar in your blood will be used up and left your brain starving (because brains mostly eats sugar). Starved brain means dizziness and feeling light-headed.

To temporarily feel better, lay down on the ground and put your legs up on the wall. It will force the blood back into your head and makes you feel better.

You can avoid this by just eating 1-2 hours before working out. You don't have to eat sweet stuff, just normal food will provide you with energy into the blood stream.

I think you should hydrate more.

If you have Instagram look up “zoehappyfit” she posts some awesome workouts. And her workouts should be okay for you, if motion sickness is the issue.

[Asker]

From someone else they said it could be low blood pressure but I’ll try hydrating more. And I do have motion sickness in general
