how can i make my legs not get cramps. and is the pain in my chest like a heart problem or what could it be?

Answer:

When I ran track I got that a lot in the beginning. It usually goes away after a week or two of running. I took a short rest when my muscles burned. Usually 5-10 minutes gets you back up and going.

You can start by drinking more water, and that pain is lactic acid in your muscles.

do stretches before exercising

pain in chest is probably from

pushing yourself to hard

I'm a nurse and these are muscle spasms. Try the OTC heat, or icy hot pads or something like that, generic will work too. You could also take ibuprofen for your discomfort. A ace bandage will also help you. Take care

you probably need more calcium

Your potassium level might be low. try eating some bananas

Muscle cramps are due to a build up of lactic acid as a result of your body not getting enough oxygen for cellular respiration. Make sure you are drinking water, eating a balanced diet and have sufficient electrolytes. Hope you feel better.
