Will it be bad to donate blood either right before or after a workout?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Donation is workout: It ideally should substitute for your workout of the day. If really intent on doing something, need to dial back to about 50% of usual and hydrate well, but a day off every 56 (if become a regular donor) is not too much to ask to save lives and we need the blood!
