Apart from boosting your energy, relieving stress and calming your mind, intense exercising makes most of us feel bloated. It is surely a discouraging experience but it does not mean that your workout session was a total waste. You may feel bloated due to several reasons and making simple changes in your routine can help you fix them easily. Here are some common reasons why this happens.

Bloating after a workout session is not generally due to food but air. While exercising we breathe heavily and inhale more oxygen. During this process, some oxygen goes down the oesophagus and then passes through our stomach, intestine and reaches the colons, making us feel gassy. This generally happens when you are running.

What you eat before a workout also has a big role to play in how you feel throughout the session. Exercising immediately after having your meal can cause stomach related issue. While exercising with a full stomach, our body gets confused. It focuses more on your muscles than your digestive system, making you feel full and bloated. Keep a gap of two hours between your meals and workout session.
