These days I am getting sharp cramp on back of my foot during cardio....I try to work through it but sometimes i give up....very annoying...I never use to have them earlier on any idea what would cause these?

    My feet fall asleep and cramp up when I'm on the elliptical. I just work through it, move my feet a little more, wiggle my toes, that sort of thing! Don't give up though! If anything, get off or stop, stretch a little, and get back on it. You can do it!

    What kind of shoes are you wearing while you work out? Maybe there is not enough arch support in your shoes.

    I was always told it was a potassium deficiency. I haven't had any issues since I've changed my diet to include more. :smile:

    I was told last week when I was in a Yoga class and my feet were cramping that I needed more iron and water. I have not looked into that yet but thought I would pass along the advice. Good Luck!:wink:

    Shoes! I have one pair that make my feet cramp up every time I wear them. I tried all sorts of cramp solutions until I changed shoes, then like magic it stopped!
