Post Training Fever

    Hello,

    Bit of a weird one for ya'll. Has anyone ever heard of getting a fever after working out?

    A usual workout for takes about 2 hours, from like 5pm - 7pm and encompasses cardio, weight training and a warm down cycle.

    I then have a post work out shake (mmmm strawberries) and have some dinner. I'm fine until I go to bed usually about 11pm and then all my muscles get really really really hot, like I have a fever but I feel fine, just insanely hot.

    It's probably due to pushing myself to hard but does anyone know the actual reason for this?
    Is it something to do with lactic acid build up or metabolic rates?

    Any insight would be appreciated.

    it could be dehydration? if you are really breaking a sweat for two hours it could also be a slight lack of sodium causing you to feel hot ...

    Are you drinking something hot before getting into bed?

    Ha ha no I don't take any of that xplodie drink crap.

    I also don't drink anything hot before going to bed.

    And I thought it might be dehydration but I drink about a litre during exercise and usually a litre after.

    Would dehydration cause you to overheat?

    Mmmm, don't think so. Could do though. Rehydration is generally done with electrolytes dissolved in water. Sports drinks and the like.

    My guess is muscle fatigue leading you to some kind of 'shock' type thing.
    Which is why I asked about the no-xplode, false energy etc. Better seperate your cardio and weighliftiing days IMO.

    I get that. Find it difficult to sleep after a late night Thai session. Heat just _pumping_ out of me. Coincidentally I'm usually lightest on the mornings after sessions like that (purely because of holding less water). 2 hours is a long session. I'd suggest some more water during and after the session and depending on your diet, some salts (not too much) after your workout. Adding salt to my diet has had a big impact for me recently.
