After I’ve been jogging for around 10 minutes, I frequently feel cramping and pain in my gastrocnemius muscle – although I warm up before I start jogging, I drink lot of fluids, and I have best quality running shoes. I’ve been working out for more than five years and I take vitamins daily. What I can do to prevent the cramping?

It is very important to get your muscles “moving” for at least five or ten minutes befoe undertaking and stretching. I suggest that you take a light jog in 10 minutes and then go into somedynamic lower body stretchingand finish with some static stretching.

I would also recommend that you start with a hamstring stretch – stretch each leg for 20 seconds three times over. Then do the same for quadriceps, groin, hip flexors, calves and Achilles tendon. When you jog, start your run at a steady pace by building it up over 500 metres.

Make sure that you are well hydrated by drinking at least three litres of water per day and keep your nutrition as healthy as possible by eating lots of raw natural foods. Regular sports massages will also help to loosen sore and tired muscles.

I highly recommend that you see a podiatrist in order to advise you on the correct type of footwear that is right for you! This was the recommendations I received from one of my Fitness pal here in Abu Dhabi. You can also do follow this one of your one of those jogging enthusiast and loves working out! That was it for now ’cause I still have to find a barcode scanner for my friend here whose asking me to help him find the best one. He was actually a merchandiser and his company is asking him to find one so, I’m helping him out! Wish us luck! Enjoy the recommendations!
