Tried Zumba for the first time last night and about 2 hrs later had an awful headache. Ended up drinking some juice and eating some protein in case it was related to low blood sugar. Anyone else had this? Ideas? Suggestions? Maybe I shook a vertebrae out of place? :)

    Did you have water before and during the zumba class? Could be that you were dehydrated; that can cause headaches.

    Yes, I doubt it was dehydration. I walk around with a water bottle all day. I drink at least 72 oz. during the day then drank another during the 1 hr workout. And another after. :-/ I have had a whiplash injury before though which caused headaches so I was thinking maybe it was that? 2 advil this morning cured it.

    Yes, sounds like you had more than enough water. I suppose it's possible that a particular movement might have triggered something related to your old injury.

    It was probably all that terrible music!

    JK JK :)

    If it keeps up, maybe mention it to a doctor.
