Which exercise are you doing when this happens?
One shaking thing - like if you hold a strength position for a long time and start to shake (one form of this is called "sewing machine leg" for the obvious reason) then that is muscle fatigue.
Another kind is when you don't have a problem with the strength but your nerves can't handle all the traffic that a destabilizing exercise generates. That is not muscle fatigue.
As far as I can see, either one of these could happen in an exercise, although I've never had either one in my back, and I do a lot of core stuff. I've had both kinds in my arms and legs though.
The sticky on core is a good thing. But if you are not working with someone who knows these exercises like a partner or trainer, I would suggest getting a book that explains the technique. Verstegen's book is one, but the book of Lorne Goldenberg and Peter Twist is good too, and more specific to how to do the exercises.

Slim Pickens, a.k.a. Major Kong, captain of the plane, was not told the movie was a comedy. To save money, Peter Sellers was originally supposed to play Major Kong, but allegedly had trouble developing the Western/cowboy accent.
