Paresthesia is usually caused by a pinched nerve or reduced blood flow to a part of the body. When it comes to working out, the exercises we do can put our body in positions that may reduce blood flow. In other cases, the muscles can swell due to increased blood flow from exercising.

Can working out cause tingling?

Numbness during exercise is usually nothing to worry about, as long as it goes away. "The tingling or numbness is benign as long as it goes away when you shake it out,” says Dr. Chen.
