Does anyone else deal with dizziness during weight/circuit training?
Sometimes I have to hold onto the wall in order not to fall.
I am very healthy and have a healthy appetite so I do not think that is the problem.

Thoughts and suggestions?

Thanks

    I get this sometimes after or during insanity. It's usually because I'm not hydrated enough before I start.

    Just to make sure though, how many calories are you consuming? How much water are you drinking before working out?

    Physiologically, it could be high or low blood pressure. If your blood pressure is normal, look to diet. Could be blood sugar or hydration issue. Try drinking 4 - 6 ounces of 100% juice about 20-30 minutes prior to training, or a wheat-free starch (whole grain brown or wild rice, millet, oatmeal, sweet potato, etc) about 60-90 minutes prior to training. Always make sure you're properly hydrated. When in doubt, drink more water.

    You could also be holding your breath while you exert yourself.
