Anybody else experience this?

  • The more I exercise the more I notice that within a half an hour of completing whatever it is I have decided to do (aerobics, dance, weights, etc.) I get super cold, and have to cover up with a blanket to keep warm. Now I do drink a lot of water while I'm exercising (they say you're supposed to right?!) and I tend to have a whole glass of it once I'm done too. Not sure if that could be affecting things or not.

    I was just wondering if this is normal? Any suggestions on what I could try to prevent this from happening?

    Thanks for the input.
  • wow....im the total opposite, I get hot and itchy which is weird, I dont know which one is normal, never heard of getting cold??
  • Kim, sometimes this happens to me. I am always cold under most circumstances but after exercising if I cool down in a draft or near a fan I will get chills. And they will last awhile. The only way for me to combat this is to cool down away from cold air and then take a shower as soon as I've stopped sweating.
  • I've had this happen too and it's from being wet after working out, I take a shower and change into dry clothes and I'm good... We do sweat in order for our bodies too cool us off...
  • Yes it happens to me but only in the winter. I stay cold for a few hours afterwards. I take a hot shower then dress in my warmest clothes.
  • Kat311 - first let me say I'm guessing based on a completely different set of circumstances! Do you have issues with your thyroid? The reason that I ask is that I have a lot of clients that do and will get very cold during a massage - even sports massage. (a more quick moving and active massage)
