Go when you're almost hungry.

Considering you haven't gone to the gym regularly before this, I think it's your body's reaction to the new routine. I would definitely have a physical done to see what would be the best.

At my college, you weren't allowed to use any cardio machines unless you had a "fit-check" in they weighed you, and ran some quick tests to see what your fitness level (i,e, flexibility, endurance, body fat) was and then created a plan for you depending on what your goal was (i.e. lose weight, healthier heart, be stronger)

Low blood sugar can also be a factor and it is advisable to have something sweet (but not fattening) like gatorade or juice when you feel a little faint.

Good question maybe you should try taking little breaks between each step or maybe your body just needs some time to the workouts. DONT OVER DO IT and your heart needs some time to slow down so after taking a fast walk on the tredmill walk slow for a bit. Hope It helps!

you could try a few things. first no caffeine or sugar before you work out and drink alot of water prior to exercise. then you may want to be sure you aren't taking a brain vitamin b's or multis before the workout. try eating a bit before you workout and mix it up do weights first sometimes or walk for awhile at a slow pace prior to lifting. don't be in a rush to look beautiful people who make life changes slowly keep it up longer. make sure you are taking a multivitamin with iron you may be loosing too many calories too fast.

If you can feel your heart racing, you are reaching your max. You need to alter you workout. Find someone you know that can set you up a good fitness program. Otherwise, split up your workouts. Do not do cardio the same day you lift. You can do a slow walk on treadmill to warm up, but do your intense cardio workouts on a seperate day. The common misconception of a person just starting a new exercise program is they think they need to exhaust themselves everytime. All you need to do is make sure you muscles get work. Results will come in time.
