I don't regularly excercise... I'm the type of person that just sits around all day. Anywho I decided to start jogging a couple times a week, and today was my second time. However, very soon into the jog, after I slow down for some walking time I get a major headache. Why is that, is it because the air is quite chilly or is it because I'm doing something wrong? I don't think I'm pushing myself too much, I jog for about a min and walk for a long time lol (not much excercise but better than before)

How to avoid headache after your workout
Posted by: Markus in Gym, Nutrition
A lot of people people complain about headache after jogging or rowing. Especially if you do an anaerobic workout chances for a headache are increasing. Here is some advice to prevent headache in the first place.

Drink!
You should drink before, during and after your workout. If it’s somehow impossible for you to drink during sports, you should think twice before you exercise exceeds an hour. Dehydration is one of the main factors that you’ll lose energy and your headache after your workout.

Water is good! You don’t need those l-carnitine drinks! Your body will produce enough of it.
Add apple juice for long distances if you like.

Eat!
Even if your goal is to lose weight you should consider eating a small portion before your workout. Usually a fitness bar or a yogurt is enough.
But: You should also avoid too much food. That isn’t necessarily connected to headache, but you’ll avoid that your stomach hurts during sports.

Vitamins!
It can’t be too bad to eat some fruit or vegetables sometimes. Don’t forget that vitamins are important for your body and your endurance.

Don’t go over the top!
Try to increase the intensity of your workout progressively.

Good advice!!

I was going to say that when I jog in cold weather I get ear infections and sinus headaches. When I first started working out my head would THROB. SO it just takes a while to get used to.
