Recovering From Rhabdomyolysis

It’s difficult to predict how an individual will recover from this condition.

Sometimes treatment can be used effectively, but sometimes patients are left with permanent damage to their kidneys.

Most individuals with rhabdomyolysis lose the toned muscles they had gained from CrossFit and are left with swollen tissue.

Despite these painful and uncomfortable consequences, rhabdomyolysis patients report that CrossFit continues to take no responsibility for causing the condition and instead tries to blame the patients for overexerting themselves.

But isn’t it the coach’s job to teach beginners these kind of things?

The lesson to be learned from rhabdomyolysis is that you should avoid going to extremes when exercising.

Yes, you should push yourself in order to build muscle, burn fat, and improve your health, but be careful to avoid overly extreme regimes like CrossFit.

It is completely possible to achieve your peak physical fitness without pushing yourself to the point of rhabdomyolysis.
