OrenJuMok Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Is it normal to have shaky hands during/after a working out? I notice I get the shakes during/after tough workouts, and its a little embarrassing when someone notices. Anyone know what causes the hands to shake? Is it a dehydration thing? Or not getting enough vitamins? I dont drink coffee or anything with caffine so that can be ruled out.... 감사합니다. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 It's normal when starting out. It happened to me for a while, specially after sparring. I very rarely get them now, except when I do a tourny. Nervous, I guess. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tibby Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Yeah, you nerves can really get it. WHen you are about to Spar, for people who have never sparred before, it can be a little scary. Also, you may not be getting enoug hcarbs. You need energy. Eat a banana or 2 before the work out, along with a big glass of water. That should give you a nice dosage of carbs and vitamens to boost you energy levels when you work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 It'll go away. My legs use to shake when I started using a CrossTrainer (think thats what it was called) for easy warm ups. Actually your lucky, you can move your hands around and such and people will never notice. What was I suppose to do? Dance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sindian Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I get shaky legs after doing a bunch of slow kicks. Slow kicks suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battousai16 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 it could be sleep deprivation as well, as that tends to give you "the shakes". are you getting enough sleep? though it's probably just fatigue and/or nervous-ness, getting more sleep would probably help a bit.

tkd girl Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I have the shaky hand problem too. I would get them after we did these very intense hand target drills in class, which involves punching targets high power for a long time. We usually do these for a couple of weeks after every testing (2 months). The first time we did this drill 3 days in a row and my hands shoke for almost a week. My instructor said that I probably needed more protein. Now I drink about 15-20g of whey protein before I train and that seems to help a bit.
