The gym makes me spew, why?

[texmo]

OK I just joined the gym and im an unfit bugger. I did some upperbody weights and then did 25mins on rowing machine then I did 10 mins on some cross trainer thing, I was pouring with sweat and feel like jelly. I walked out side and had to vomit.
Any body know why I did this? this is the second time I have gone and its happened both times

Domino's triple cheese, cheese burger pizza...... not good before a work out mate

it's cos you're a fag. give up now, there's no hope at all.

Ok, you're just overdoing it initially. Josh will have better advice, being a personal beautician or some shit, but you can't just jump straight in the deep end with shocking your body horribly and barfing. I had mates used to come to the gym and try and match my training regime(when I was playing), they always went green and had to go take a salad.

A natural response of the body due to the demands you are now placing on it! When you're trying to get fit, you are asking the body to step up its capabilities past its current point. Naturally the inclination is to do as little as possible in the "use it or lose it" scenario.

When I was training hard doing powerlifting in the gym, after particulary intense sessions, I would spew up as well.

Keep training through it! Try not to eat an hour before you train, keep your fluids up while excercising. If you get spots before your eyes or feel like you're about to pass out, back off the intensity a bit.

It'll take about three weeks before your body starts to realise that you want it to be more leaner and efficient!

Good on you for hitting the gym and giving it a go! Only takes 12 weeks to make a huge difference to your physique and health!

I'ld go see a doctor and explain what happened..... could be any number of things medically....

Happens to me if I run to long.. its just because your unfit.. when I first joined the gym I had to cut my workout short and sit in the changing rooms for like 20 mins thinking I was gonna pass out/vomit .. had cold sweats.. the works .. a week or so later no worries..

so just stick at it and in time your body will be able to take the extra stresses, and youll wonder why you ever got sick in the first place!

I used to get a little nausea when I first started at the gym as well, after a work out. Didn't last long.

Decrease your work rate immediately! Your body is complaining about the intensity, take it a bit easier for the next couple of weeks, do a little bit more after the first week then again after the second week. By then your body should be more accustomed to the work load and the vomitting should stop, if not see a doctor fast.

Its only your bodies way of removing any extra demands on it when you place it under duress ( digest food or run the body) in the old days when you had to run away from a dinosoar you probably would have shit yourself as well. Fight or flight reactions will force your body to perform at its maximum and remove any cause for extra ativities, wastes time digesting food if you running for you life so it see ya later cheese burger... time to run like the wind.

Two options, keep up the level of training and this will eventually go away or ease back on the initial training and work up slowly over the weeks.

a bit like when a fat chick gives you the eye over a crowded bar....

haha, I now have the mental image of some dude shitting and vomiting all over himself as hes gapping it from a t-rex..

man, that musta sucked.. thank god for gunpowder!

You are prob just over doing it. I just started at the gym although I am used to rowing (home rowing machine) I did 30 min walking, 20 Cross Training, then 20 mins cycling Monday and needed to sit down for a while.. felt like I was going to pass out.

Just take it easier... 25 minutes on the rowing machine is quite a lot to start out with, if you are unfit. Maybe start with walking first.. to warm up?

Ah yah muppet, give me call and I will explain. I can't be arsed typing at the moment.

Its basically a reaction with lactic acid and your stomach. Training beyond your current fitness level at the start of your training can cause this quite easily and you will be getting into your anaerobic zone rather than aerobic.

give me a call mate, I will help you out with any of your gym training and advice you need on what you are wanting to acheive.

[texmo]

Will give you a call later than fishy.

edit: also how come I am not sore at all (only little just above my armpits) I did bench and a few other things and psuhed really really hard, but im not sore at all...
And this morning I felt really weak, found it hard to open a jar.

[Fishy]

Sweet as bro.
