On Sunday I awoke at 6:30am and got up to eat breakfast and drink a coffee in the hope that I could hit the gym fuelled up and ready to go. I watched 'Human Universe' for the hour leading up to the gym opening and then started my exercise.
I was nearing the end of my workout when I suddenly felt light headed and dizzy. I slowly walked towards the changing room to sit down. Once sat down I felt sick too. I wasn't about to be sick but I had that hot yet cold sweat that comes before it. I rested my head on the unsanitary sinks in there and then realised I'd look awful if someone else walked in so after a look in the mirror I'd go sit on the toilet and close the door. My reflection spun as I looked at myself and it slots felt like a dream. But no, this was real. I was going to black out, so I better sit down quick. I leaned over the toilet but no retch came so I sat instead. I was sat but with my head on my arms across my knees. Thirty seconds later I felt a bit of respite. Another thirty and I could stand. Four minutes later and I felt normal enough to grab my things and leave. I wanted to be home.
I had imagined myself found slumped in the cubicle and yet I still couldn't bring myself to notify a member of staff etc for help.
The breakfast I'd had didn't prevent this from happening and so I told myself I'd never come to the gym in the morning again.
I was fine for the rest of the day but it had scared me a little.
Exercise is bad for you.
