The heatwave is making all of us feel worse for wear, but post-workout nausea might not be because of the weather. Here are all the signs you’re suffering a ‘fitness hangover’.
“These sensations are your body’s ways of telling you to stop. Having a cramp while running because of lactate build-up means ‘stop and rest’, it doesn’t mean run through the pain. I believe many people who suffer from fitness hangovers because they push themselves too hard and often they ignore the signals from their body that they should stop,” she adds.Adapting your training and nutrition is the first step to avoiding these symptoms. “If you’re, don’t overdo it.
“Make sure to drink water to replace the lost fluid and, as far as nutrition is concerned, it’s recommended not to have a heavy meal before any workout but you should have a carbohydrate-rich snack to maintain the glycogen stores during training,” she says. A general rule of thumb is that you should fuel your body one to three hours before a workout – “something simple as a banana with a tablespoon of peanut butter as a pre-workout snack will do the trick,” according to Dr Dehghan.“Post-workout it’s essential to take time to rest and replace the lost fluids, electrolytes and energy. For most gym-goers it’s enough to have a small snack consisting of carbohydrates and protein and then a high carbohydrate meal within 12 hours post-workout.
While there’s nothing wrong with a workout that challenges you, “your workout shouldn’t make you dread your next session,” says Dr Dehghan. “A good workout should make you feel happy, elated, and generally better than before you started. You may feel physically tired and even hungry, but you should still have enough energy to finish working out and go about your day.”
Right now, there are enough things going on in the world to make us feel rubbish. Don’t let your workout be another.on Instagram for the latest workouts, delicious recipes and motivation from your favourite fitness experts.
