I run 4 days a week, zumba 2 days a week, and I just started doing Insanity to replace weights (bored at the gym 100%)
My question is, since I started doing Insanity, my calves are REALLY tight almost crampy. Anything special to get rid of it? More Potassium, or hydration? When I was doing my walk/jog last night my left calf was starting to cramp up. Definitely not fun and wondering how I'm even going to do Insanity today lol

Exactly...more stretching before and After...and then more stretching !!! My calves KILLED me in the beginning !0 -
I get terrible cramping in my calves and feet when I am low on potassium and calcium. If I drink a glass or two of that orange juice with calcium added and have at least half a banana, I seem to do a lot better.
Good luck with Insanity! I am on my recovery week and glad for the rest!0
