Pain-Free Guide: The Fit Girl's Guide to Common Exercise Pains

bicycle crunches to strengthen abs and obliques

Common Problem for Cyclists: Tingling

What hurts?
You walk out of Spinning class and realize that your hands are tingling.

Here's why: Tingling hands and sore forearms can be caused by weak abs. "If your abs are strong, you lightly rest your arms on the handlebars while your core holds you up," says Dr. Wright. "But weak abs make you bear down on the handlebars for all the support you can get." An hour later, hello, ouch!

Feel better: Tingling goes away once you stop leaning; soreness usually takes about a day.

Your new game plan: Strengthen obliques with bicycle crunches. Lie on your back, upper torso raised off the floor; twist to bring left elbow to right knee, then right elbow to left knee, cycling legs in the air. Do 2 sets of 20.

Are you kidding! An MD gave a treatment before examining the patient. This is a nerve related problem that should be diagnosed. It can come from peripheral nerve compression in the hand or wrist or could be from a cervical spine problem. Get diagnosed before guessing what treatment to do. Nerve injuries can become permanent and disabling. Consult a sports medicine doc before you treat the wrong body part.
