Cramp in abs...

Is it common to get cramp in your abs when exercising? Honestly, it was the worst pain i have ever felt. I can usually tolerate pain quite well but this had me on my back in the gym shouting for my friend to help me up :sad: lol. Anyone else get this?

    I got one once, but I was hot, dehydrated, and had been teaching aerial classes. Not fun

    I used too all the time when i started belly dancing! The first one lasted over day possibly sprained? And ended up on a muscle relaxer for a weekend and now i occasional get a bad cramp in my lower abs and right oblique

    Found cow pose ( yoga) helps a LOT when it hits
