Feeling shaky

momsgettinfit

New member
after my workouts. I'm not faint or dizzy just a little shaky. Is this normal or should I be taking something. I'm drinking plenty of water and I eat a clean diet, 5 or 6 small meals a day. I don't really feel it until I start my stretching at the end of my workout. Does this happen to anyone else?
 
When I used to do intense cardio for longer periods of time I would notice that more. After I ate something I was fine. I always figured it was do to lower blood sugar, and needing food. I felt fine after I ate something. Also could be a fat burner combination you are on....

That is true about the blood sugar, I did HIIT last night and when I went back to the mats to stretch,I had to stretch my tri's and my hands were shaking not bad just a little. When I came home I drank a protein shake and was fine. I just started taking a fat burner and this has been happening since I started working out so it's probably the blood sugar thing.
 
Hey momgenfit,

This happens to me, usually after a HIIT session. I make sure I take the protein powder with me to the gym. As soon as I guzzle that bad boy down I feel much better. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would bust my ass in the shower. Lol.

Your diet looks okay. But I am not sure of your personal goals. I was wondering if you were getting enough carbs and fats though. As well as calories.I am not really sure if you are getting enough calories if I dont know your stats but why dont you try refueling your body with a protein shake right away after your workout and see what happens. Also, you said you take a multi. Just one? Usually, if its a good vitamin you will be taking a lot more than one daily.
I ad this problem some time back before I really looked into what I was eating and it was because I wasnt getting enough calories and fats. A lot of girls here recommend www.fitday.com to check your calorie requirements as well as ratios on line. You may want to try that to see if you are where you should be.
I hope this helps.
 
Yeah - diet looks low too me too on carbs/fats. Common mistake by most women trying to stay lean. Not a lot of lean mass will be gained from this diet.

Are there any banana's or p.butter in your shakes? I don't even see a meal before bed and then your body is fasting for ~ 8 hrs. Then when you get up you only eat such a small meal with almost no carbs in it. Dependent upon your training goals (weight amounts used) and cardio schedule - I think you're way low.

If you posted bodyweight and bodyfat anywhere, I missed it. That may help us who are wondering/trying to assist you. Take care.

I do fitday. I am looking to one loss fat,gain muscle and see more definition.

My stats are typically like this about 1500 to 1600 calories:protein usually 40 to 45%,Carbs 35 to 40%,and fat 15 to 20%. I try to have a full diet,it's hard at time but I try to get my carbs and proteins close,I fail at this alot of times. My multi is a one a day for women. Do you think I should try taking more? I do have a protein shake post workout. I get done drive straight home and as soon as I get through the door I have one. And they help ALOT.

Its not a vitamin problem. Its a food amount problem. Those are some low calories and little meals. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong, but you are not going to gain any muscle or lose any fat eating to little. Its pretty amazing how many times I have had people tell me that when they got past their fear of actually eating more food - they miraculously lost weight and gained muscle (Wow - it was like a miracle!!)

All kidding aside...not eating enough. I will PM you later tonight when I get home if you want my thoughts on this further. Take care, QSis.

I am lifting 5 days a week,my routines are broken up,ex:day 1 chest,biceps,shoulders day 2 back,triceps,day 3 legs,calves. I then take one day off all cardio that day (usually racket ball with hubby). Then start all over again and take Sunday off (day of rest).

I warm up for 10 min then I hit cardio doing HIIT 3 days a week. I prefer the eliptical but do use other cardio equipment.

I now do my abs 3 days a week. And finish each workout with a complete stretching routine.

Yes I would love your input. Like I've said before I'm new to this so any advice is not going to be taken lightly. Thank you.
