Sometimes I have to work out in the evening after dinner if I miss my morning workout.  And it seems that my stomach always cramps up while I'm running and I get an upset stomach.  But I don't want to wait until bedtime (9:30) to work out because then I'm wired for sound for at least an hour.

Normal transit time through the stomach ranges from 1 to 4 hours.  Transit time is faster for meals very low in fat and can be significantly less than an hour.  Hot tea with a meal can also speed up the transit time - getting your stomach to empty quicker.  I actually try to work out before eating - but find that dinner at 8pm doesn't really work so well if you want to be part of a family meal.\n\nSo - dinner with high fat - take more time before your run\nlow fat - 30 min to an hour depending on your makeup.\n\nTweak the whole thing with hot liquid at the start of your meal.  Best wishes -

working out before dinner is a good choice.  you will increase your metabolism, causing a decrease in calories absorbed by your body.  You will actually be LESS hungry after the workout, and you will not get as many calories from your dinner.

That means you worked the muscles. That's a good thing.  Wait 48 hours and do them again. Your stomach will be slightly stronger. (It takes about 48 hours for muscles to repair after exercise.)

i've spent years pushing myself to exercise when i'm sick and then i just end up feeling worse for longer. take it easy and don't feel too guilty- you'll get back to your routine soon enough. take advantage of the time you have to let your body rest.

Your body had not build up its endurance yet.  However, make sure you're eating enough to take place of the calories that you're using up when running.  The more you work out, the more calories you need to give you energy to finish your regular day.

I know what you mean, years ago when I first started teaching, I got dizzy and shaky too and it's because you're depleted more than likely.  \n   What time of day are you working out?  If at all possible it would be good for you to have some carbs about 45 minutes beforehand.  Maybe a bagel, or a sandwich, toast if it's in the am or cereal.  Carbs will give you energy to complete your workout, and then fruit afterwards is good.  I always like bananas because they're so filling.  Hope some of this helps....

First, I meet with my personal trainer and discuss my diet options and what fats I can cut back on. Then, I do four sets of twenty crunchs to tone my stomach and then I work out with an exercise ball for half an hour. After that, I like to run for the remaing part of my hour and a half at the gym. Somedays though, I just lift weights to tone my arms and do yoga to help me unwind.\nJ'adore,\nConnie

I find working out and drinking lots of water seriously helps you have energy...it may not seem like it because working out wears you out, but your body gets energized from working out...so jog or do aerobics the night before. You will feel great the next day I promise.

You CAN go immediately... however, you MAY become nauseous, light headed, dizzy, etc. \n\nSome folks have no problem eating and running (or swimming) immediately.\n\nHowever - for the most part one should wait an hour after eating to exercise. The reason for this is NOT that you will drown or die, LOL, but rather that your body is currently sending most of your "extra" blood supply to your stomach to digest food and it is simply not available to fuel your muscles. So, in an emergency or over-stress, you simply have no reserves. \n\nWhile you shouldnt run in that hour - you CAN however do pre-run stretching.\n\nAlso - be careful with the heat - like always. Lots of fluids. Light colored clothing. Try running in the morning or evening (although run only in the mornings if running in the evening keeps you awake at night). \n\nMost of all - enjoy!

Hi!  No matter how hard you work out your stomach, you can't really spot reduce that area. No matter how rock-hard your abs are, if you have body fat over top of them, you won't get to see them.  That being said, you need to change your body composition to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat. To do this, focus on strength training for your whole body combined with cardio activity and of course, eat healthy.  You won't see results over night, but every little bit helps. You can definitely search the internet for full-body strength training programs and good ab exercises.  Cardio is anything that gets your heart rate up (running, biking, etc.).  Avoid processed, greasy, junk food.  Drink lots of water.

I agree with all the other answers. I used to get horrible cramps, the kind that made me want to passout, I found that Tylenol menstrual/Midol or any pain reliever, doing some light jogging, and a heating pad after my jog worked really well. Even though exercising seems like the last thing you want to do, getting those muscles working helps loosen them up so that you don't have that "cramping" feeling. That's why as another person suggested "orgasms" help because they cause the muscles in your uterus to move and loosen or uncramp. Good luck!

The morning is generally a better time because right away it boost your metabolism and thus helps you burn more of the meals you consume that day. Also, if you execise in the morning be sure to eat something small before the workout so your body will have something to workoff and not go straight to your muscle.

Try drinking a sports drink like gatorade when you are running for an hour or more.  You need to replenish your fluids and electrolytes, especially in the summer when you sweat more.

Run every morning BEFORE breakfast.  Drink lots of water and cut down on carbs (pastas, breads, rice).  Working out before breakfast is 4 times better than working out in the evening.

Two things to consider, are you a morning or evening person? You pick what works for you cause you need to stick to it. \n\nFrom what we know it is best to do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Also, the best time to exercise to avoid injuries is between 4-5pm as your muscles are not stiff as they are in the morning. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.

usually excercising gives you energy. like im at school all day, and then i come home feeling really tired like i wanna pass out and sleep, but i go and exercise and i always find energy that i thought i didn't have. maybe eating a banana before your workout will help. Or take a little hour nap before you workout, it gives you a lot of energy and won't hurt your bedtime because after working out you've lost all the energy you gained with the nap. good luck.

It's typical to be fatigued, sore, and irritable for your first several weeks of exercise, especially if you're doing it for weight loss, and you don't really want to be doing it?  Hmm?  I've had clients that come into the club to work out and they stay mad at me until the session is almost over!  Geez!  Some people like to work out and some people do it just for weight loss and don't really enjoy it much. \n Most people tho, just to put your mind at ease feel the way you do at first, because hey you are more fatigued, you are more sore, and you're irritable because you're more fatigued and sore!  It's normal, stick with it, pretty soon you'll be looking forward to your walks, really!
