Answers:
It really depends on the type and severity of the anemia!. There are many different types of anemia and they will have slightly different effects on the body under the stress of exercise!.

Most often, mild cases of anemia are actually improved with a weightlifting routine!. This is because when people start a weightlifting routine, there will definitely be dietary adjustments!. Typically, people start eating more calories in general, and specifically, more protein!. This is naturally a good thing for anemic people, especially if the protein comes from red meat!. In addition, the body will naturally produce more red cells and more hemoglobin in response to the exercise!. This is called exercise induced erythropoiesis!.

However, if you are VERY severely anemic, you would definitely need to get your anemia corrected BEFORE you even attempt any vigorous exercise!. I am a nutritionist and trainer and I had a client years ago who went exercising while severely anemic (Hemoglobin of 5 g/dl!. VERY low) and ended up collapsing mid exercise!.

Always consult your doctor if you are in doubt!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You're not doing light or moderate weightlifting!.

See a doctor to get you levels checked!.

You can accommodate deficiencies by eating liver, red meat, and spinach (those are the ones I remember, I've had issues with anemia for years and did anything I could to avoid taking the iron pills)!.

Once you begin treating the starting levels, your body should start helping the anemia!. Have it checked in a few months and you'll likely be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Not if you are eating a healthy diet and taking vitamins!. Do it slowly at short duration and low intensity and see if your body can handle it!. It is best to consult a doctor first ofcourse!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
