Africa is joined by Eduan James Exercise Specialist at Ignite Fitness to talk about some of the reasons why you might feel sick after an intense workout and how you can prevent it. 

When we work out, there is an increase in blood flow to the working muscles, brain, lungs, and heart. This increases the amount of blood flow, driven by the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system (which helps regulates all of our involuntary body responses, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion). It does this by widening the arteries so they can carry more blood to these tissues.
