Don't work out the same day you donate and you'll be fine.

Well, I don't know about lifting weights. But, I'm not allowed to fly for 72 hours because of the smaller amount of blood in the system. I think it takes that long for the body to recover the amount you lost.

Wait 48 hours after donating to start lifting and doing intense cardio again. During that time, make sure you drink alot of water to rehydrate. And don't be surprised if you feel a little weaker with the lifts for a couple of weeks. It is just temporary. :)
