Why does head throb after a short and easy workout?
Okay first of all I’ve never really done much working out my whole life. I just recently started trying little workouts so I don’t totally wear myself out. So I only workout for maybe 15-20 minutes at a time. I always drink water before, during and after the work out. My husband is a US-Marine and he tells me that I need to eat before and after I workout. Well, honestly I didn’t listen to him at first. But today I did eat before I worked out. Anyway my problem is that if I’m doing something on the floor, like crunches or push-ups..the second I sit up or stand up my head starts throbbing and I feel like I might pass out. Although I haven’t passed out yet it is still bothering me, I just wish I knew what it is that I’m doing wrong so I can prevent it. Today I ate before I worked out and drank water…and my head was throbbing for a whole 15 minutes after my work out. I know I should have ate something afterward but I felt so bad that all I wanted to do was just sit and rest rather than walk around the kitchen trying to prepare food. I’m not overweight or anything like that. I think I’m around 5’6″ tall and I know I weigh around 113 lbs. and I’m 20 yrs old. I’m trying to work out more so I can just stay healthy and also I’d like to have more developed ab muscles..lol. If anyone can help me out to understand why my head is throbbing this way and what I can do about it I would deeply appreciate it.

Your head throbbing is normal. It is because your heart is beating fast and your blood pressure is up. Your body might not be used to the workouts yet. Even people who exercise daily and are in excellent shape may experience this. You can’t stop your heart from beating faster and your blood pressure rising if you are exerting your body no matter what shape you’re in. Maybe try taking Tylenol a little while before exercising because it thins your blood and your blood pressure won’t be as high. That’s how it stops headaches, by thinning the blood. As far as eating before and after exercising…I probably wouldn’t even though it works for your husband (Semper Fi – Thanks for your loyal service to our country). I’m ex military so had to give him some props. Once you eat, your body will start using energy to digest the food and could cause cramping or lower energy levels because you’re trying to use your energy to exercise at the same time. Everyone is different so my suggestions may or may not work for you. I also noticed you said you are trying to work on your abs. I use an ab machine that works brilliant and I use it for about 15 or 20 minutes a day. I had a 30 day trial when I bought it a few months ago but I don’t know if the free trial is still going or not. You will have to check it out to see but I put a link below where you can find out about it. I Hope I helped answer your question, I gave you my best advice. Good Luck to you and your Marine;)
