I do have a question I'm hoping someone can help me out with; I tend to almost always get exertion induced migraines after working out (last summer, i could workout everyday, but I was also taking Excedrine migraine everyday) and this can deter me from working out as often. Other than the conventional wisdom I've found online such as making sure to warm up slow, does anyone have any suggestions how to avoid these headaches?
Just saw this...do the headaches only happen in the summer? If so it could be heat related and not exertion. Headaches like what you describe are a classic warning of heat exhaustion. Ate you drinking enough water before, during, and after your workouts. A good rule of thumb is 16oz before you workout...16oz for every 30 min during your workout, and then 16oz after your workout. Also, you can sub something like gatoraid or propel for some of the water to make sure you keep your electrolytes balanced.
