Why do my muscles shake and feel the burn?

When you feel a burning sensation in your muscles, it is a sign that they are working anaerobically (without oxygen). This “burning” is a build up of lactic acid within the muscles, due to muscle fatigue. You will generally have to stop exercising momentarily in order to stop any further build up.

Once you have stopped for a few moments, the sensation will cease and you will be able to continue once again. The stronger your muscles get from regular practice, the longer it will take for this burning sensation to appear (if at all). Muscles can also shake during exercise and this is a sure sign that they are working hard.

This is a good thing but recognise when they are getting too shaky and you are losing proper technique, as it is time to rest when this happens.

“Thank you for such clear and detailed instructions and videos”

"I am currently working through your Mat Pilates course and I just wanted to say thank you for such clear and detailed instructions and videos. I did a Pilates course a long time ago but never did my exam, but incorporate elements of Pilates exercises in other fitness classes I teach. The course has been a great refresher and also introduction to new exercises and explanations of why the exercises are done. "

The course content was invaluable to my teaching repertoire, the days were filled with original and unique teaching methods, which were delivered in a fun, easy to understand manner and Emma was professional and empathetic to every one of us in training."
