Thanks Glenn
Re: Headaches
My experience is the opposite of yours. I have nerve pain and get mild 'MS' headaches from time to time (regular pain relievers do not help) and the only way I can get temporary relief from the discomfort is through mild exercise like walking or lightly exercising on an elliptical for about a half hour. A hot bath for 30 minutes also gives me temporary relief.
But I never have gotten a headache from any kind of exercise but I do not typically do any vigorous exercise for more than a short period of time.
Do you keep track of your heart rate while exercising?
What specific exercises aside from jumping rope give you headaches? If you get your heart rate up without 'bouncing' around, a stationery bike for example, do you still get headaches?

Do you do ropes for cardio or balance?

Re: Headaches
the gym coach said the headaches were because i was dehydrated.
in hindsight dehydration was consistent with my chronic low blood pressure. i didn't put two and two together until decades later.
i've never looked into it and don't know your routine, but common sense suggests if one were borderline where headaches from dehydration are concerned, that overnight would likely be the longest stretch without fluid replenishment.

Re: Headaches
I agree with J. Maybe try a magnesium supplement with a glass of water before exercise?

Re: Headaches
also is the 2L intake tailored to your body size?
weight in kg * 33 = X ml
weight in lbs / 2 = X ounces

Re: Headaches
presumably the ground water has better mineral content than city water would, although if relevant, it's known that north american ground water can come up short in minerals compared to some euro sources.
re amount, by weight you're probably looking at 2.75 L or about 11 c. of fluids per day.
conservatively, you could say 20% of that can come from food, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5084017/
leaving about 2.2 L or 8.75 c. of fluids.
so, 2L+ should be getting you there, probably with extra whenever you're doing lots of sweating
re daily mag. some authors have suggested between 7 and 10 mg/kg body weight, based on a spectrum of increased demands/depleting factors associated with environment/culture.
for your body size, that would be 560mg to 800mg magnesium intake daily.
so if your status quo food, fluids and any other supplements are not getting you to at least 360mg mag per day (and it is very status quo for mag intakes to be less than that), you may want to consider adding a third doc's best each day.
hopefully something in there will help
