What to do if your thigh hurts due to excessive exercise

Exercise plays a decisive role in our lives and is a good exercise for our bodies. However, there are many things to pay attention to when exercising, especially excessive exercise. Excessive exercise will be bad for the body, especially muscle pain is a common phenomenon. Many friends will have thigh pain after excessive exercise. Let us understand what to do if your thigh hurts due to excessive exercise?

After muscle soreness occurs, we can relieve the pain by doing stretching exercises, applying ointments, ice compresses, warm water baths and saunas. However, the above methods can only provide temporary relief. When exercising, we should pay attention to the following points:

1. Scientifically arrange exercise load according to different physical conditions and health conditions, and don't just try to be strong;

2. When exercising, try to avoid focusing on one part of the body for a long time to avoid overloading the local muscles;

3. Do warm-up exercises and pay attention to fully moving the local muscles to be exercised;

4. After exercise, pay attention to general relaxation exercises and focus on muscle stretching exercises.

Muscle soreness is mostly caused by muscle damage. Just like other sports injuries, the damaged muscles must be given enough time to recover. If it is unavoidable, you will have to give yourself an extra day or two to rest after a training session that causes muscle soreness.

In addition, don't rush to the bathroom to take a shower right after exercising, as this can easily affect your body's blood circulation and increase the burden on your heart. Steam baths and saunas, in particular, can easily cause dizziness, nausea, and even heart failure if used immediately after training. So do some simple relaxation and stretching exercises after exercise, and be sure to wait for 5-10 minutes until your heart rate is below 120 beats per minute and your body has "cooled down" before taking a shower.

The above methods can play an effective role in regulating thigh pain after excessive exercise. At the same time, this is also a common situation, especially for friends who do not exercise for a long time. After thigh pain occurs, we cannot stop exercising. After long-term persistence, we will have fewer problems with this situation.
