Medication

Excessive amounts of anti-inflammatory medicines like ibuprofen or naproxen can cause nausea. If you’re feeling achy before your workout, it’s tempting to take meds, but never take more than the recommended amount of the box or what your doctor prescribed. Instead, try and take anti-inflammatories post-workout.

Intensity Level

While exercise-induced nausea can happen at any speed and any intensity, high-intensity exercise can increase your chances of nausea during workouts. If you’re feeling nauseous while working out, reduce your speed or resistance until you’re feeling better.

Fitness Level

Contrary to popular belief, nausea can occur at any fitness level, beginners aren’t more prone to it if they push themselves too hard.

Dehydration

Eating

Eating large meals and then exercising can lead to stomach aches and so does skipping meals and not eating balanced ones. You don’t want to be too full or hungry when working out. Try eating a small snack 30 minutes to an hour before exercising.

Hydrate

If you’ve ever run and experienced nausea and a headache after, it’s probably because you didn’t drink enough water during the day. Try to drink 16 to 20 ounces of water before your workout to keep your body hydrated. Also, try and avoid drinking sports drinks prior to exercising as the sugars and flavoring can upset your stomach.

Remember to Eat

Everyone processes food differently, but it’s important not to workout on an empty stomach. If you’re worried about having to run to the bathroom mid-workout out, try eating a light carb snack like oatmeal, an English muffin with peanut butter, or a bagel, an hour and a half to a half hour before exercising.

Wait it Out

Listen to your body and the cues before working out. You may need more time to digest your food or water in order not to feel nauseous while exercising.

Know When to Stop

No matter how much prep you do, sometimes your body can’t deal with the pain or discomfort and that’s when you should slow down or stop your workout. Be prepared to change of your workout to something more low impact if you’re stomach isn’t doing well.
