How come after I do Ab workouts my whole stomach area hurts like h**l?

Question

I'm in good shape i do ab exercises often but suddenly after i do a few crunches/situps and other ab exercises my whole stomach area hurts, why is this????

Answer 1

You have a hernia, a prolapsed abdominal muscle, or bone cancer.  Get checked out by your doctor.

Answer 2

The guy who says who have a hernia or cancer is a little excessive.Working out in the abdomen region can cause spasms and cramps,it is your muscle,just like if you were to run 20 blocks your calfs would hurt,your making your muscles stronger,just make sure you keep hydrated.Same for feeling like your gonna throw up,your just pushing yourself hard.Just be careful and consistent.
