Calf muscles

BrendaPetersen

When I walk outside and do my walking DVD in the house my calf muscles get rock hard. They don't hurt, cramp or burn, but give a weird sensation instead. My potasium and sodium levels are ok and within range, so I know that isn't it. I do a warm up and cool down before I start and finish exercising. I'm not in good shape due to my health and breathing issues, but I'm working on increasing my capacities.

What I want know is:

1. Why this is happening?
2. What the fix is?

I thought this might be a discussion about veal.

Here's an interesting article on tight calves: http://theflexibilitycoach.wordpress.com/2010/04/20/relieving-tight-calf-muscles-3-overlooked-essentials/

It could be a lack of iron, not enough carbs, or not enough calories full stop.
