Working out a day after giving blood?

[fyyer]

I just gave blood yesterday, at approx 12:10 - 12:20, Today its about 12:50.... Is it safe to workout? Or?

You can work out just expect to get tired a little quicker and not to recover quite as well. This is due to the reducuction of red blood cells caused from giving blood. Don't overdo it. It normally takes about a week or so for me to feel 100% again after giving blood. Although it can take longer for your body to actually replace the lost blood.

just make sure you drink plenty of water and you should be okay. Iron supplementation might be a good idea as well.

i worked out the day after giving blood and everything was cool. I only gave two vials though. I'm not sure about working out if you gave say, 5+ vials.
