Yes, sometimes we push ourselves to our limits - and we feel like heaving during or afterwards. It's nothing to be ashamed of and it happens to all of us at some time or another. But why ?
It could be working out on an empty stomach and the resulting low blood sugar.
(always eat a small snack an hour or so before working out)
Exercising on a full stomach can also cause you to hurl - seems obvious
(don't pig out before a workout)
Dehydration and exercising in hot conditions
(not replacing the water being lost through sweating)
Holding your breath during exercising and pushing hard - puts pressure on your gut
(valsalva maneuver)
Change in blood pH due to the anerobic metabolism of pyruvic acid. If you are pushing yourself harder than usual, your body cannot get rid of the built up Lactic acid - your body is trying to cleanse itself.
It happens - if it's due to eating habits, change 'em. If it's from pushing too hard, you know your limits. If it happens all the time, you should consult your doctor, as it may be an underlying medical condition.
