What does it mean if when you are walking on a treadmill your legs start to itch?

Question

I have had this happen before that when I am walking for awhile and consistently that my legs will begin to itch. I thought it meant that I was working the muscles but nobody else I asked seems to have experienced this sensation.

Answer 1

I have had this. I think it's because the muscle is having tiny tares in it, and the blood is rushing to the muscle to repair it and grow more muscle. Scientists believe this is how new muscle tissue is formed. It's completely normal. You are growing more muscle and that is very good for your bone strength and density.

Answer 2

sweating, increased blood flow to the skin and aggravation of the skin cells will produce an itching. try regularly wiping down your legs from any small amounts of surface sweat and wear some atire which will help reduce the itch.

Answer 3

I have experienced this before. My guess would be that your muscles are needing more oxygen than usual, and are depriving your nerve endings of air, making them feel like a minor form of pins and needles that one gets when his or her leg falls asleep.
