why do your cheeks hurt so bad after blowing too hard? Like a balloon?

Just tried to blow up a balloon and it’s been like 15 minutes and my cheeks are still in a lot of pain. Got me wondering why this happens.

Your cheeks are basically a thin muscle flap (made up of a lot of muscles, fat pads, glands, and other tissues) so blowing hard against resistance like a latex balloon generates an over-use situation on a set of muscles that generally only operate without resistance.

TL:DR you did a cheek workout and took it too far, now your muscles are sore.
