Weird Workout Reaction #3
Third series of of weird workout reaction.
Reaction #5 Tingling Feet
Signal: Your feet feel numb or you have “pins and needles” when you climbs stairs, walk of run, bike or in-line skate.
How it`s tied to your workout: You may be aggravating an underlying structural problem, such as fallen arches, or simply using incorrect form -either if which can cause you to put abnormal pressure on your feet and induce panful tingling in the toes and balls of your feet.
What to do: Watch your form. On the stairclimber, resist hunching over, doing so places undue stress on the balls of your feet. When biking, try to place your toes just forward of the pedal`s edge to reduce stress on the front of the feet. Also make sure that your shoes aren`t tied too tightly and that your foot is well supported. If numbness persists, see a doctor to rule out circulatory problems ot to get inserts (orthotics) if you have a structural problem.
Reaction #6 Loss of Appetite
Signal: Chronic loss of appetite and overall sluggishness throughout the day.
How it`s tied to your workout: Although exercise can speed metabolism and suppress hunger. When you overdo it, your body uses all its energy to repair itself. Rest become more critical than food, and you may feel too tired to eat.
What to do: Give your body needed rest. Hit the sack earlier and ease up on exercise for a few days -try cutting your workouts in half. With these modifications, your appetite and energy levels should return to normal within a few days. In the interim, if you`re not hungry at mealtimes try to several healthy snacks throughout the day -yogurt and fruit, for example- and stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
Reaction #7 Stomach Cramps
Signal: Bloating, cramping while working out, especially during cardio workouts,
How it`s Tied to your workout: You may not be allowing enough time to elapse between eating and working out. Consuming a meal within an hour of your workout creates competing demands for blood: your stomach needs it to work efficiently. When your stomach doesn`t get enough blood, you may suffer from cramps.
What to do: Since cramps usually pass within a few minutes, first try easing up on the intensity of your workout. If cramps persist, cool down, then stop. Rest until the pain subsides; slowly start again. To prevent cramping (even a light snack) and exercising.
