Stay hydrated!!! This does not just apply to cycling, but any activity. I go to Zumba classes and other forms of high intensity exercise. Hydration is key as is loosening up and stretching.
" Bicycling is a low-impact sport, but its not exactly low pain. Nearly half of male cyclists have experienced an exercise-induced headache, often lasting into the next day, according to a new study in the journal Headache.
The biggest risk factors: extreme exertion, low fluid intake, and warm weather, all of which can cause dehydration. When youre low on fluids during a hard ride, your body breaks down muscle tissue, triggering inflammation, says Stephen Silberstein, M.D., former president of the American Headache Society."
