Hi there I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but everytime I lift weights I get really dizzy and nauseaous feeling. I only get this when I am doing arms not legs. any ideas what it could be? Thanks!
Be sure you are lifting the proper weight and your form is perfect. Then remember to breathe Most likely that is the culprit. Holding out breathe is not good. One easy way to remember to breathe is to move with your breathe.
So for example, on a basic bicep curl you would start with your hands down by your sides. Take a deep breathe in and on the EXHALE lift the weights up to your shoulders. Then inhale and lower back to start.
Breathe slow and move slow. If that doesn't help it could be an issue with your blood sugar or something else. I'd check with your doctor at that point.
Some of the times the dizzyness may be due to a deconditioned central nervous system. This usually happens when one starts the gym again after a long break or for the first time.
If this is the case, it will subside a bit as you continue to workout.
