About your workout tho, if you get "shaky" overall (lightheaded, dizzy, can't think straight) then that's your insulin levels tanking and you need to squeeze a workout gel or eat some honey or something. However, if it's just your muscles getting "shaky" than that means you're fatiguing them too much by pushing yourself too hard. It's your body telling you to back off a little bit.
