Hi,

First I would have some blood tests in order to check for the possibility of muscle damage, checking for raised creatine kinase levels which indicates muscle damage. Intense exercise may at times be associated with a potentially life-threatening phenomenon called rhabdomyolysis.

If such damage is excluded I would suggest reconsidering the intensity and frequency of these Zumba and kickboxing sessions. I am not suggesting you interrupt them but that you increase load more gradually, I am sure you wouldn't want to have an injury which may disable you and force you to stop exercising anyway.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olsi Taka,
