I’ve recently started a diet/exercise program that has included power walking nearly daily. This started about 2 weeks ago. Everything has been fine, but I’ve suddenly started having intense thigh pain (in the front) and dizziness. The dizziness seems to come along with the pangs of pain. Anyone have any idea what this is or what I have the ability to do about it?
Answer:
You might be overdoing your diet and exercise program. You should take in some extra potassium to prevent muscle cramps and to regulate your blood pressure. The pain alone might make you dizzy. I suspect you are restricting calories which includes important nutrients and then asking your muscles to work overtime. Rest a bit and exercise each other day and see if this makes a difference. You might also get test strips from any pharmacy to check for ketosis which is the burning of fat. You don't want to go too far into that, just keep it at a minimum level. The ketostixs are made for diabetics but you can use them to see the level of fat burning.
Answer:
Hope you haven't been starving yourself. Your body still needs plenty of nutrition when exercising.
Try powerwalking every other day and see if that helps. You might be taxing your legs.
The symptoms actually worry me a tiny…especially the dizziness. I'd talk with a doctor or physical therapist if it keeps up. Good luck.
Answer:
i am on the same exercise routine that you’re. i had bursitus in my lower back and this caused severe pain in my front thighs too.the dizziness could be from not drinking enough water.hope this was helpful.
Answer:
u should aklways consult ur doctor before taking up a new diet or fitness regime
Answer:
Look…..wht I can tell you by experience is that you don't really need to worry abput it….its simply because you need some warm up……state before power walking, do normal walking and a few stretches(don't overstretch…..it will ruin it all). Depp breathing is necessary…..when you feel the fatigue come over you do this…..fatigue might also be due to over working of the body…….The diet plan could give you as much as directions…..but to comprehend your body, its capacity is up to you…..for example….I know when my body is tired and what all does it need, that’s because I carefully measure the exact limit to which my body works….Ofcourse the limit can be increased….but you shall have to work on that
Also…..I hope your diet plan allows you the required intake of calories and you aren't starving yourself…..I knew a friend who tried to do both and ended up fainting, so please don't do that.
