Exercise Induced Nausea

Here's another unusual sign I saw in China I had never seen before.

And as Garth would say from the 1992 Smash Hit "Wayne's World":

"If you're going to spew, spew into this"

Believe it or not, every month or so, someone trying out a class in one of our schools needs to regurgitate or needs to sit down because they feel a bit of nausea.

Actually it's quite normal.

The common causes of exercise induced nausea are:

• Working out on an empty stomach
  
  
• Over-training

• Dehydration
  
  
• Non-active lifestyle

It's very important when starting your martial art training that you go to your own pace.
Even if you know you can push yourself harder, gradually work yourself up to that level by scaling back a bit on the level of intensity and exertion you put into each exercise.

Then when your body is accustomed to the style of workout (i.e Intense Interval Training) you can start making significant gains in your level of fitness.

That doesn't mean you'll never feel nauseous.

Nausea can happen at any fitness level. It either means you failed to prepare your body correctly (food, water, etc...) before starting your workout or you know you pushed yourself to a whole other level.

The best way to train is with a proven, progressive system which is designed to automatically increase your endurance threshold consistently over the course of 6 weeks.

When that is achieved you're ready to step it up again.

And again.

And again.

There's no limit to what your body can do. You just have to stick with it.

No one wants to "spew" on their first training day that's for sure.

If you do, let it be a big wake up call to finally get yourself in the best shape possible, make the right food choices and live a healthier lifestyle.

Here's what we do.

Master Yourself,
