shaky after workouts, why?

I've been working out steadily for about 2 weeks now, every day, then suddenly about 3 days ago, I started getting shaky after working out. It did coincide with A) coming down with something don't know what exactly, and B) adding weights. Anyway, after a workout now, if I hold my hands out in front of me, they shake, I can barely hold my arms over the keyboard to type right now. whats up?

that happens to me periodically after I finish a crossfit session and for the life of me I couldnt figure out why. Would love to hear others chime in :)


I get that from time to time as well. Not sure, but curious about any ideas someone may have. If it's from a very intense long workout....could it be due to depleted glycogen?

Getting sick + higher weights/reps will zap your glucose stores quicker. I've passed out enough times in the gym to vouch for low blood sugar being to blame...and I'm not a diabetic. In addition, hydration (as always) is important for metabolism and blood pressure regulation. Lastly, if it's after an intense workout...your muscles, joints, and nerves sending signals are in a state of shock. This is a good thing, as you must stress the body for any physical restructuring to occur, but can also be a sign of "I did too much."....the healing process is what makes us stronger/faster and you must allow time between workouts for that to occur.

My advice....stay hydrated, juice or fruit prior and after the workout (it doesn't take much), back off the intensity/duration/frequency if you're constantly having muscle/shakiness issues, and avoid workouts when ill...you'll do more harm than good in the short term. My 2 cents.
