A lot of people people complain about headaches while exercising. This is especially problematic if you are strenuously going all out. Here is some advice to prevent a headache before it starts.
-
Drink!
You should drink before, during and after your workout. If it’s somehow impossible for you to drink during sports, you should think twice before you exercise exceeds an hour. Dehydration is one of the main factors that you’ll lose energy and cause your headache after your workout.
Water is good! Apple juice is a good addition for long distance runners.
-
Eat!
Even if your goal is to lose weight you should consider eating a small portion before your workout. Usually a fitness bar or a yogurt is enough.
Make sure you don’t eat too much though or you will start getting stomach cramps during exercise. -
Vitamins!
Fruit and/or vegetables are a good source of vitamins. Vitamins are important for your body and your endurance.
-
Don’t go over the top!
Try to increase the intensity of your workout progressively. Start slow and try to build up. Don’t go all out for too long though.
I hope this advice will help you prevent a headache after a workout. If you aren’t working out regularly you should be!
Great tips, Wisdom. It’s also a good idea to replenish your electrolytes throughout your workout with Gatorade or electrolyte packets.
