I had a weird thing happen after my workout today... I did a Tabata sequence on the rower with a 2 min cool down. It's "normal" for me to be a little week in the knees after (it is a 110% effort, after all), but today I had shaking (hands, knees, everything) even after my HR had returned to normal.

I ate breakfast and ate a snack as soon as I felt able to, but it was weird. Is it low blood sugar? Dehydration? or is it just normal?

    I find that when I push it to the limits, which I try to do everytime I am at the gym, that always happens to me. I always shake, I think that its just from pushing really hard. :)

    I don't know if it's normal or not, but after a really super intense workout, that happens to me too. The first time I did powerpilates, my legs were like wet noodles afterwards !!:laugh:

    Most likely dehydration.

    If it happens again check your blood sugar and see if that is causing it. Be sure to drink lots of water before and during.

    I noticed since I started doing the 30 day shred I been shaking after each time I do it, but I don't do it after I walk or one of my other work outs. I find I have to push myself harder then normal with the 30 day shred. So I think it has to do with the pushing as well.

    Have you even been checked for diabetes? You've said that you have eaten breakfast and a snack as soon as you were able to. Did the food stop the feeling you were having?

    Yes, I am borderline diabetic (since birth due to pancreatic insufficiency) and track my BS daily. This didn't feel like low blood sugar so much, but I didn't test right after. If it happens again, I'll test to be sure. It felt like muscle exhaustion (like when I do an hour-long high-intensity spinning class... I can barely walk out of the gym!!) but I've never had it effect me all over.

    Okay.
