    No, I never have, but after my first insanity fit test, I did consider a trip to the hospital for an IV

    Crying doesn't necessarily have to be linked with emotions (happy/sad).
    Sometimes it can merely be a physical response. Obviously your body needed it.

    ^Agreed! I've cried on several occasions, but only after a particular workout. For whatever reason, 30 Day Shred Level 2 brings me to tears the moment it stops and enters the cool down. No emotions attached, nothing particular running through my mind, so I can't explain why…but my body needs to let out a short cry.

    It doesn't happen with the other levels, and I've done more intense workouts…so who knows. You're not alone and there's nothing wrong with it! Good for you giving it your all…and for sharing!!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one! I cry a lot when I'm working out with my trainer and I cried Friday at hot yoga. Most of the time mine is frustration, if i'm having problems doing something.

    I have never had this happen to me, but I kind of wish it would. I feel like if you work yourself to the point of crying, you are really cleansing your body and mind!

    I know this may sound stupid.. but has anyone ever gotten emotional after a workout? Twice now... once after the Insanity fit test, and just now after the Billy Blanks Bootcamp... when it was finished I was just uncontrollably crying. I have no friggin clue what sparks this b/c I have so many thoughts going through my head... glad it's over with, glad I actually finished it, etc etc. Please tell me I'm not the only one..

    You aren't the only one. It happened to me back in March when my health journey began. After an 8 year absence from physical activity, I was able to last 20 minutes on the elliptical. I just teared up because I realized that I'm back on track after all this time.

    You are not the only one. Means you worked your @ss off, be proud. No shame.

    Means you beat some stress outta your head. H3ll yeah.





    S/N: I would suggest saving it for the car if you're a dude, I imagine you would get as @ss kicking for crying in the men's locker :laugh:

    I find it interesting that it's women who are responding with something along the lines of "it's totally normal, it's not estrogen because it happened to me."


    And by interesting I mean hilarious.

    At first I thought it might not be crying but might be some of your awesome leaking out. You know, that could be a possibility if your workout was summiting Everest or winning the Indy 500 or a UFC Championship. Maybe setting a powerlifting record or completing a 100 mile trail race. But then I saw that it was Tae Bo and the Insanity Fit Test and my first thought no longer applied.

    It's not stupid. You're experiencing a release. Even if working out feels good, it's stressful, and it can unlock a lot of tension that you carry around with you.

    Bumping for later. I haven't cried, but I sometimes get angry during a workout. It usually lasts for like an hour, then I start to feel better. Normal?
