when you donate blood, you tend to loose energy because your body is using it up to rebuild your strength if you work out, you run the risk of passing out. you can work out but if you feel week don't try to push yourself too hard. eat healthy and rest until you have regained strength.

Not a good idea. Whilst you can have a gentle workout this should not be anywhere near what you used to do. After a few days you should be back to normal, but should take things easy during this time. Well done for giving blood!

A delay of 5 hours is suggested as an absolute minimum after giving blood before undertaking the lifting or moving of heavy weights.

However the majority of sources recommend waiting 24 hours after giving blood, before undertaking strenuous exercise.

A minimum of 24 hours is recommended, but each person differs so take it easy and if you feel ok after one day you can go for some light exercise.
