    Try doing stretching exercises first, that always helps me. If your not sure what to do, I bet there is a list online somwehere - I use a theraband to help stretch.

    well you definitely need to stretch your legs.
    try to do lunges so that it stretches your leg out.

    good luck! :)

    Eat some potassium, too, like a banana or potato and drink lots of water.

    May be dietary related too.
    Bananas are good to reduce cramping muscles.
    You'll need to stretch too. Hoping someone else will post that info. I'm the world's worst at stretching!

    You can get to any of the topics you post by going to the community tab and clicking on My Topics underneath the tabs at the top.

    I usually do the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD. The DVD warm up includes front lunges, side lunges, and pretend jump roping. I can't remember the whole warm up. I haven't done it in a few days b/c I'm sick. :grumble:

    Hope this helps! :flowerforyou:
