Red in the face - literally

[miller2917]

When I exercise my face gets so red. I seem to be in the minority in this regard. Does anyone know why this happens?

Mine gets really red as well. I am not sure why it happens either.

Sorry, I don't know either, but you're not alone. I'm another one who gets red faced when I exercise. Especially cardio.

Mine gets beet red.

I just found this:

Basically, your body increases circulation to your skin's surface to help cool you down.

Me too. It also feels hot for a good while after.

Well, I can tell that I've had a tough workout if my face is red. Unfortunately, only HALF my face gets red (literally - I get a line that runs right down my nose - I look like a mime in red face). My doc says I'm okay, but I do get a lot of weird looks. So it could be worse...

Yep, it's just blood vessels dialating. Not a big deal except it looks like your dying LOL!! At least that's what I think when I look in the mirror. So for anyone going on the road trip, please don't worry about my fire engine red face- do not call the paramedics!!

This happens to me, too. I always look like I'm about to pop or something :7

Me, too. I look like a giant tomato-head. When he was about 4, my son said "mommy, your face is all red - that must be really hard" Yes, it is hard, and its wonderful!!!

My face gets very red when I exercise. And it stays that way for awhile. I got a "whoa" from my daughter last weekend when she saw me.

The most inconvenient thing about getting red in the face when I work out or ride my horse is the alarm it seems to cause everyone else!

I remember a thread about this a while back.

PS Mine gets red too.

And I thought I was the only one!

I too am a red faced exerciser, and I also sweat like someone turned on a facuet and forgot to turn it off. :7 :7

I just finished imax2 and I'm as red as a beet. Sweaty too. It's gotta be genetic, cuz my one DD is just like me, my other DD never gets red.

My face gets really red (almost purple sometimes) too when I workout and when I ride horses. I tell people don't worry, I'm not having a heart attack! Everytime my husband sees me like that he tells me not to overdue it. He probably thinks I'm going to stroke out.
