Is it bad if I almost vomit when working out?

[Anonymous]

I joined this new gym... I won't say the name, but let's just say it's pretty darn intense.

We work out super super hard... and in the last few days I've worked out so hard that I've pretty much gagged several times. No vomit has come up... just gagging. Last week it was 3 times, today even at the gym it was 4. I had to run to the bathroom just in case. I gagged while running and I think people saw... oops.

Is that bad? Or can I keep going? I don't know how to make it lower intensity... they already scale it down for me. I guess I'm just that out of shape! Gotta catch up somehow!

Yes, that's bad

No, that's okay

Depends/Other (explain)

If you're feeling like this DURING your workout, keep hydrated by drinking whilst you workout and lower intensity until you can handle it.

If you're feeling like this AFTER your workout. Bring a recovery drink, like some gatorade for after you workout, stay hydrated throughout your workout. Also snack about 90 minutes before, eat something with carbs+protein, like peanut butter on wholewheat toast. It is also important to cool down properly, you have to exercise for a little while longer with a low stress activity to bring your heart rate down slowly.

This sounds like a bunch of group exercises. I personally workout alone.

Some workouts do that, especially if you are under anxiety. People vomit from things like heavy leg press because it is an intense exercise. People also get light heading during squats as well.

Personally, I split up my workouts based on my goals. Too many people try to do an all-in-one workout where they intend to burn fat, gain muscle, and such all at this same time. I have vomited before at the gym, but I don't recommend getting to that point.

No, it happens to me a lot too. I try and workout at last 3 hrs a day because my goal is to get down to 190 by Monday so I work real hard and then when I'm done it feels like my stomach is about to give in

It's bad. Don't eat before workouts and don't chug a lot of water. Try some antacids, maybe ythe workout is kicking up some stomach acid and making you gag.

The problem is you are running before you can even walk. I am assuming you joined a crossfit or kickboxing gym of some sorts, because those gyms don't know that you actually have to start at low intensity and build up to become conditioned.

Just make sure you drink lots of water and do not eat within 2 hours of your workout. Also make sure you aren't putting crap in your body. If you are already doing this, than slow down to your own pace. Otherwise find a new gym.

That would be a bad thing. Just go at your pace and don't overexert. No wonder they needs those handy-dandy legal papers for you to join.

You're just pusHing yourself to hard. If you keep doing what you're doing you'll eventually be able to do it without losing your lunch, but it would be better to just lower your intensity

It just means you've physically pushed yourself really hard. The fitter you get the less it will happen.

yes,already happening!

Just pace yourself. I had the same problem. Tone things back a bit and you'll end up getting way more out of your workout too!

Go at your own pace,drink water, and do not over exert yourself.Its simple.
