To help my gf, who has been suffering from muscle cramps lately, here are several ways of dealing with cramps:
• Take a longer and more gentle warm-up.
• Shorten your workout, rest for 3-5 minutes between intervals.
• Slow down the pace of your workout—especially from the beginning.
• Shorten the length of the workout on a hot/humid day.
• Break your workout into two segments.
• Look at any other exercise that could be causing the cramps.
• Drink more water
• Runners: Shorten your stride-especially on hills, and take more frequent walk breaks.
I sometimes experience muscle cramps and I know it not that easy to handle. This would help us a lot. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy it helps. As with anything I post, it is great to know I have helped a runner out there. Happy running!
