After donating blood, how long do I have to wait before I could work out or take a shower?

I used to donate blood all the time when I was in the Marine Corps. We were told to skip PT for that day only. Shower - what does that have to do with it?

i really have no clue as to what the shower thing has to do with, but you can do pretty much whatever you want. as long as you feel fine within an hour or so after donating, you should be o.k. to resume your normal activity. hope this helps.

I don't give blood anymore. I had a bad experience the last time. I would wait about 4-6 hours afterward if you are doing anything aerobic

YOu only have to wait an hour or two so your not bleeding.
Watch you drinking - you get drunk real easy with less blood.

Those blood people turned me down. They asked something like 124324 questions and I said yes to one of them so they said I couldn't donate.

Geez...you have unprotected sex with one bi-sexual, I.V. drug user and they think there's a chance your blood may be contaminated.

Just kidding by the way...they turned me away because I admitted to using finasteride.

Thanks for explaining the abreviation. When I first joined I had to ask what PCT meant. I'm still learning the proper forum board etiquette.
