problem off the treadmill

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem ..... When im done walking on the treadmill i get light headed and have to sit for a few seconds before moving on to a different machine .... does anyone know what causes this, is it normal ???

it happens to me all the time you are getting your blood flowing thats what i think it is

Possibly a drop in blood pressure, make sure you do a slow cool down before getting off the treadmill

Happened to me as well and a trainer I asked about said to do make sure I did my cool down and got my heart rate back to my starting heart rate. This has helped as It hasn't happened any more.

Sudden change in where the blood and oxygen are being focused. Extend the cool down to the point where it does not affect you so much.

I went running on Tuesday for the first time since I completed the London Marathon...13 years ago! Ran 5km and had the EXACT same thing. Feels like you're floating almost, but with an edge of being light headed. I was going mental though as I really wanted to make 5km and pretend I hadn't lost it.

Could be down to exerting yourself too hard?

I was not finishing my cool down, so from all you guys have said, i know i need to finish it all the way . Thank you all for the help !!!!
