Getting physically ill from working out
Hi.
So i just started working out. Been doing it for 1 month now.
I work out at home, doing full body circle training.
My workout routine is as follows:
I always start with squats. Then i do ab-wheel rolling, then pull-ups, pushups and shoulder press.
I do these to basically failure, take a 3-4 minutr break, and go again.
I am NOT in good shape, but i'm not like obese or like barely functioning - i am 33 years old and weight about 90 kg, most of it is fat. I try focusing on my breathing and usually pace a bit and calm my breath after each set.
The first set goes fine, the second one gets me exhausted, but the third set breaks me. Like. My body is shaking, i get pale and i start yawning like crazy. This ends up me just feeling super nauseus and also a little anxcious, of course, i am probably shocking my body here cause its not used to it, but seriously?? Is it normal to want to just lay down for 1 hour just to feel myself go back to normal?
No underlying condition that I know of.
What should I do? Am I working too hard? Should i take longer breaks between sets?
Any advice?
