Only restarted going to the gym last saturday (3rd) I do 60 minutes on the cross trainer (average of about 140-145 spm, burning around 950 cals so the machine says, with a heart rate of around 140 throughout the 60 mins) followed by 10 minutes "cool down" on the tread mill and then 15-20 minutes on weights/floor exercise.

Now a couple of times I've suffered with sudden head aches almost like I've been stabbed in the head with a knife after a while the pain passes (I don't stop the training) but I'll suffer for the rest of the day with a niggling slight head ache.


Now I was nearly 21 stone at the start but I do a physical job so I'm no means unfit just over weight imo.....lol, I've lost 9 lbs in the week (going everyday to gym and doing the above everyday).



Has anyone else suffered with the above?????



CheeRS for any help

does bright light effect it, could be migraine

also when I was using weight gain for a few weeks, I stopped using it coz the farts it made me do were terrible and I was takin the wife away for the weekend and I got really bad headaches for 2 days, have you cut anything inparticular out of your diet

 

Main thing I've cut out of diet is chocolate and greasy food....... I have a very sweet tooth so ate a lot every day but have cut it to nothing now.

Light doesn't effect me at all.

 

May be dehydration as I tend to get headaches if I don't get enough water whilst exercising. Keep water intake high at all times and see if it helps.

 

UPDATE.....


Drank 2 bottles of 500ml water today and yesterday (and worked slightly harder all round) whilst training and I haven't had any head aches....... fingers crossed it was just a little dehydration....


Cheers
Steve

 

do you suffer with a blocked up nose mate might be your sinus's i used to get headaches all the time now 30 mins before gym i have a couple of squirts of sinex sorts it right out

 

yer it does sound like dehydration mate i get it all the time, i just try and drink loads before i go in the gym.

but remember if you drink to much you'l flush your system out and you'l have the same effect

 

Ive just got back from the gym, and when lift weights some times if im struggling i get a flash like im going to pass out. God knows what that is

 

Thats called hard work - keep it up!

Steve - i pulled a neck muscle before xmas. It didn't hurt during the day but any bench pressing made it unbearable. You may have twinged something. But if it helps with extra water you may have found the answer.

 

UPDATE.....


Now pushing 160 SPM and well over 1000 cals an hour on the X trainer, upped my weighs as well by 7kgs on each machine plus upto 100 reps as welll (upper body stuff) and maxxed out the leg press at 175kgs (50 reps).

Drinking about 1.5L of water each session (around 1hr 45 mins everyday)


Lost just over 20lbs since 3rd Jan and the belly and moobs are getting smaller......lol
