Part posted from my own ‘diary’ thread, as I realised that this might get more replies in the exercise thread – you are all so helpful and supportive X
Last week, 16 weeks into 5:2, I started using an elliptical trainer. I’ve not exercised regularly in such a manner, *ever* as I’ve never had the time nor the money, but now I do have a little more of both, so here I go.
*But* I’ve been experiencing terrible stomach upsets, like IBS at full throttle 🙁 I’ve googled the potential cause as possibly the trainer but found nothing similar and I can’t think of any other reason.
Therefore, I’m here to ask if anyone else has experienced the same problems? i.e. diarrhea, pain, wind. (I’m female, 48)
I’ve decided to give the trainer a break for a couple of days to see if the problems settle then start again, but much more slowly (admittedly, I did kinda *go* for it to start with – it’s FUN!)
Thank you in advance,
