I do not know what people are talking about when they describe having, or being, “gym crushes”. For me, fellow gym-goers see my ugliest self: sweaty brow, frizzy hair, magenta face. Not exactly romantic.

But what does it actually mean if, like me, you go bright red after exercise?

Like getting out of breath after climbing the stairs, is it more or less worrying depending on its severity? Is there a “normal” level of redness after exercise?

We spoke to Dr Dominic Greenyer, GP and director at The Health Suite in Leicester, about why some people turn scarlet after a run and what it means.

The post-workout redness that made me think, "when is this worth worrying about?"

Why does my face turn red after a workout?........
