i've started crossfit four months ago and I'm pretty sure that since then my spider veins started to appear or get worse... may this be true? due to the fact that we do excercises like lifting weight, squats, squats with weight, row jump… etc.

Answer: Spider veins worsened by crossfit Spider veins can appear at any time. They are genetic, brought on by weight changes, and can also occur from excessive workouts or strain. It's hard to blame it totally on Crossfit as it could have just been a time in your life when they were going to develop either way. There are treatments options if you'd like to visit a dermatologist for an assessment for either sclerotherapy (this is my preference) or lasers.
