fainting at the gym

I am joining the gym tomorrow and nervous about fainting. I just recently got on track with my vitamins (i am horrible at taking them). I also do not get enough protein... Has anyone ever fainted? I do get a little light headed when i do certain things.

I was getting light headed often, and fainted walking at the Zoo a few weeks ago. I did have to up my water intake. And now I pay a lot of attention to by body for signs of over doing it. I also make sure I eat and drink before I go to the gym. Plus I keep healthy snacks in my purse at all time! For me the biggest problem was water, I have to really think about my water intake. I have a few other issues that kinda add to it but if you are in tune with what your body is telling you then you won't have a problem. I go to the gym 6 days a week and have never fainted at the gym. Good luck and enjoy the gym, I love it!

Thanks! I love the gym too... I used to go all the time until i had a back injury :( but the weight loss seems to help the back pain. Fingers crosed

I'm sure your be fine, just drink plenty of water and eat about 25-30 mins before you go.

I have a history of passing out cold at the gym...so embarrassing! Luckily my son has been with me every time. I now take a small orange juice with me and have a high protein snack on my way there. The last time I passed out he just looked at me and said....really, again mom! Hahaha
