    Recently started using a stationary bike and my legs itch like crazy during and after... feels like it's under the skin in my muscles.
    I was pretty inactive before so blood flow makes sense. Guess I need to keep it up!

    If you actually get hives (raised red bumps or lines) and not just itching, maybe an over-the-counter antihistamine would help. I get hives randomly everyday and have to take them; I saw an allergist about it and he said I'm not allergic to anything, just have an overactive immune system.

    The fitter you get, the more it goes away.

    I used to also get that on my legs after running outside, I never remember having that issue after working out indoors. I think it's fairly common and eventually it completely stopped. So push through, maybe see a doctor, but it should subside eventually... hopefully :)

    Are you taking a pre workout supplement or NIACIN?

    Body reacts to workout on number of ways, skin itching of body from regular can caused by hives that is called exercise included urticaria, food allergy is also one cause of skin itching after exercise, even if you eat some offendive items before physical exercise. miliaria is also one reason for skin itching after workout.
