No, you should avoid workout for next 24 hours as your iron reduces and your blood circulation decreases and almost 1/10 th blood of your body removes so it takes atleast 24 hours to recover otherwise you feel weakness so eat iron rich food in these 24 hours like fish, chicken,eggs , beans , spinach, peanut butter add it in your diet and intake oranges and other Vitamin C food as it helps to absorb iron and start your routine after 24 hours.

I request you to please make a habit of donating blood on yours and your loved one birthday to wish them.
