Went to the gym today, after a horrible start to the day. They had put in a couple of new machines called the Startec E-TC, it's just like a treadmill except there are two pieces to walk on instead of one and they move up and down. That thing kicked my a**, I think I was able to make it a mile or about 10 minutes before my leg started cramping up really bad. I had noticed last night and early this morning that my legs were cramping up a lot. Guess that's what happens when you get back on the wagon again after being off for so long. Squats, lunges, crunches, wall squats, push-ups, I did them all yesterday, and today I feel it. Hope you all have had or is having a great day.

Might try more water or stretching more? You might be cramping due to dehydration? just a thought.

Good for you Sherrie for getting to the gym and working out. If you're feeling soreness then, barring any injury, you're working your muscles good, just don't overdo it!

Saw one of them on tv and thought, well considering I can't walk and chew gum, it would surely take me down. Good job to doing it.

You might want to take a potassium supplement or eat bananas if that is in your diet, as well. It could be low potassium making your legs cramp. That is what happens to me.
