Question: How do I avoid this tight cramping feeling in my legs and feet when I power walk!?
For exercise I walk quickly around a track for about half an hour!. It is a really good work out, but I get very discouraged from doing it because my legs feel really tight around the calves and my feet start to hurt and cramp!. Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I read somewhere that (besides stretching), tightening of the calf muscles has to do with maybe starting your workout too strong!? Have you tried working up to a power walk!?
The article I read also said that when our muscles are "shocked" or worked up too suddenly, then they are not getting enough oxygen, causing them to tighten up!. Or the case may be that your routine is too strenuous, and your body needs a longer period of time to get used to exercise before doing anything too rigorous!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stretching is very important!. Stretch before and after you exercise!. Also, drink plenty of water!. Dehydration can cause cramps!. Another possibility is that you shoes are not right for your feet!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
stretch before and after you walk and eventually it will go away also drink plenty of water and wear good shoes
