A member asked:
Do you get veiny hands (prominent veins in the hands) from working out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Exercise results in increase blood flow and heat production, and the veins automatically dilate in order to get rid of the heat, and accommodate the increased flow. Do prominent veins in the back of the hands and up the forearm is a normal response to the exercise process.
