Thread: Anybody here go BRIGHT RED when exercising?

me me me!!! i go red AND blotchy....its just beautiful.....and it has always happened to me even when i was slim and fit!
its to do with your skin sensitivity/peripheral vascular activity/blood flow etc etc etc!!!! i jsut dont look in the mirror anymore - what i dont know cant hurt me lol!

All the time. But I do most of my exercise at home so it's not bothering me too much.

yep i do too. its a famil trait as my sister and mum get very red too. nothing you can do about it, just dont let it control your life and get on with it, dont worry about it. i dont think anyone in the gym would care as everyone is too busy focusing on themselves to really notice anyone else.

I do but I don't mind, it's a sign that I'm doing a great workout

I do too! We must be special!
It's hard when you see those stick like thin people on the running machine who have probably done 10 miles when you are walking on the machine and have done about 1 and they don't even look as if they've broken a sweat, whilst you are bright red.
I don't think they really take any notice as they are too focused on what they are doing themselves, so I wouldn't let it bother you.
Just be proud of yourself that you're there in the first place!
Good luck.

so glad to hear that there are other work out rosies!

I thought when i first started exercising that i was getting read because i was out of shape.. but the more i exercised it never went away ! i'm very pale to begin with so i think it's just my natural thing to get red.. i wish i didn't but oh well.. won't let it stop me from doing it !
