Exercising with a hangover

Whether you can exercise with your hangover depends on how severe it is. If you have to run to the bathroom frequently or if you can’t walk in a straight line, it may be better to stay in bed. Especially if you suffer from blurred vision or dizziness, it is better for your own safety to give your body time to let the alcohol disappear from your system. The workouts you will find below are suitable if you suffer from lighter complaints. So always be careful and if in doubt, stay a little longer. It’s better for you and for your environment.

Yoga

One of the best ways to move your body without making your hangover worse is to do yoga. Place a mat in your living room and stretch and stretch! Make sure you perform your movements slowly and smoothly. And if you still suffer from nausea, it might be better not to hang upside down. Focus on your breathing and relax for a while.

To walk

If you think fresh air would do you good, you can take a nice walk to get a breath of fresh air. Walk at a leisurely pace and choose a route that is not too challenging or long. Bring a bottle of water to hydrate yourself while walking. Hopefully, this will help you get rid of your hangover as soon as possible. And that extra bit of vitamin D from the sun never hurts either.

Swimming

Swimming is one of the nicest things you can do for your body when you’re not feeling well. The cold water cools your body and ensures that your headache disappears like snow in the sun. Make gentle movements in the water and swim lengths. In the summer you might also enjoy swimming outside. Fresh air and cooling water is truly a panacea for a hangover.

Jog

Finally, you can go jogging with a very light hangover. We deliberately choose jogging and not running here. Running is probably a bit too intense if you’re nauseous or have a headache. So keep a relaxed pace and make sure you drink enough water. And if jogging is too intense, you can always switch to walking! Maybe once the nausea has subsided, you’ll find something tasty to eat along the way!
