Woman, 24, left battling fatal ‘muscle death' condition triggered by her first ever spin class
A WOMAN landed in intensive care with a fatal condition triggered by pushing herself too much during her first spin class. The 24-year-old had rhabdomyolysis, which is when overworked muscles die, break down and leak toxins into the blood. 1 These toxins can damage the kidneys and cause them to stop working, which can be life-threatening if not treated quickly. Spinning is a high-intensity indoor cycling workout that targets the large muscles in the thighs and glutes. It's hugely popular for its fast calorie burn and endurance boost, but the intense effort can sometimes push beginners too far, medics describing the case in Cureus warned. They said that young women, especially those with high BMIs have "adequate" energy and "muscle bulk" - like the woman in the case report - to do spinning. "This endurance and some over-enthusiasm can lead them to spin for prolonged durations at varying intensities," they wrote. "Combined with dehydration, lack of fitness and the muscle mass of the quadriceps make them more prone to rhabdomyolysis after their first spinning session," they added. Just two days after the class, the unnamed woman was unable to walk upstairs as her thighs throbbed. But her pain was unusually severe, and when her pee turned from clear to brown, she knew something was seriously wrong. She went to hospital where tests showed her creatine kinase levels, a marker of muscle damage, were more than 50 times the normal limit. Tests and scans revealed that muscle cells in her thighs had ruptured, releasing harmful substances like myoglobin into her bloodstream putting severe strain on her kidneys. Bizarre medical case reports Doctors immediately started her on IV fluids to flush the toxins from her system and closely monitored her kidney function to prevent failure. After five days of intensive treatment, her muscle enzyme levels finally dropped, and her kidney function began to improve. She was eventually discharged and made a full recovery - but doctors warn that pushing too hard in a first spin class can trigger this rare, life-threatening condition. "We recommend gradual, low-intensity training or periodic training with adequate hydration and replenishing the fluid loss for all young women engaging in indoor cycling for weight reduction in the early phases of their fitness program," they wrote. "Awareness regarding warm-ups and cool-downs should be given to all beginners involved in indoor spinning," they added. What is rhabdomyolysis? Rhabdomyolysis, called rhabdo for short, happens when muscles are pushed too hard and start to die and break down, releasing toxins into the bloodstream. These toxins can seriously damage your kidneys and even cause kidney failure if untreated. Common causes: Intense exercise (like spin classes or heavy lifting) Muscle injury or trauma Certain medications or infections Symptoms: Severe muscle pain and weakness Swelling and stiffness Dark or brown urine (a key warning sign) Fatigue and fever Why it's dangerous: The toxins released can overload the kidneys, which filter your blood, leading to kidney damage or failure. Treatment: Early hospital care with IV fluids helps flush toxins and protect kidney function. Most people recover fully with prompt treatment. If you experience severe muscle pain after exercise and notice dark urine, get medical help fast.

Men are using bizarre tactics to determine if a date is a gold digger: ‘He just wanted to test me'
Men are finding sneaky ways to determine if a date is a gold digger — and women are learning this the hard way. One single woman shared her recent experience with this in the r/AITA subreddit on Reddit — which has since been deleted. The 29-year-old went on a date set up by a mutual friend that she thought went well overall. At the end of the date, when the $100 check came — her date decided to test her to see if she was a golddigger, unbeknownst to her. Explaining that she had every intention to split the bill with him, you could imagine how taken aback she was when he handed her the check and asked if she could pay for it. The woman obliged, and as soon as business was taken care of, the OP explained his reaction: 'Right after I paid, he got this huge grin on his face and said, 'Congratulations, you passed the test! You're not a gold digger,'' she wrote in her post. Everyone comes with baggage from past relationships. This couple wasn't any different, as the guy explained that he dated someone in the past who expected him to pay for everything. The OP wrote how she handled this news: 'I told him that I'm not his ex and he has no right to treat me like I'm guilty until proven innocent. I also said he's not some prize that I need to pass tests for.' Kudos to her for standing up for herself. Of course, the commenters went off on this guy, many agreeing that this 'test' was a wild thing to do. '…it absolutely WAS a test- to see how far he could disrespect you. His behavior could only get worse from there,' wrote one commenter. 'While it's certainly possible that his ex was only into him for the money, he's not actually offering much else. At least, not a pleasant character,' another user wrote. And this isn't the first scenario where a guy tested the waters to see what type of woman he was dealing with. In another Reddit thread — in the same subreddit — a woman shared her bizarre experience with a date she met on a dating app who claimed to be a carpenter, to see if she only wanted to date guys for their money. 'He ended up admitting that he is not a carpenter, he just wanted to test me,' the OP wrote. The woman said her date mentioned a 'low-paying job' to see how she reacted to it. Reddit users had a field day with this story, too. ''I'd like to start this potential relationship by lying to you.' I think that's shitty as f–k and you can go f–k,' a comment read. 'This dude has baggage you probably don't need to be dealing with,' another person pointed out. 'His 'test' gave away his character flaw. He showed you that he's a snob. The job he chose to 'slum it' is pretty lucrative if you're good and especially if you build your company up. He is a jerk,' quipped someone else.
