Pilates

[WittyGreyPoster]

I had my second Pilates class last week, but when I got home I felt so sick, almost to the point of vomiting. I thought that maybe I hadn’t eaten enough during the day, whilst at work, but I emailed my instructor and they said the less you eat the better. I’m wondering whether or not to go to my third one. Has anyone had a similar experience?

No, I’ve never felt sick and I go regularly (several times per week).
Was it a mat or reformer class? Did you otherwise feel fine during the class? What’s your overall fitness level like, did you just push too hard?

this hasn’t happened to me - but perhaps you did eat a bit too much before given the level of exercise to your core

i I don’t eat much before my class for that reason.

My DS used to be sick after exercise. He eventually worked out it was dehydration - could it be that?

Too hot? Too cold? Dehydration? Not enough to eat during the day? Vertigo?

Dehydration.
Also if you did lots of backwards bends that can make you sick - a bit like vertigo. I would go and take it easy - don't do the progressions. Concentrate on getting your alignment perfect instead. If you've just started then this is what you should be doing anyway.
