How can I get rid of these leg cramps?

Question:

During lifeguard school today I had to lift a 20lb weight fromt the bottom of the pool. On the way up my right leg suddenly exploded with pain, like my femur was being twisted. I don't think it was a normal leg cramp, because as soon as I even wiggled my leg I was wracked with pain again, and it wouldn't go away for a long while. So I was left looking like an idiot on deck wincing with pain.

This happens every time I attempt the weight challenge, and I need a remedy. Because if I can't bring the weight to the top, then I fail the course and can't be a lifeguard.

Answers:
A lot of times athletes get cramps from lack of salt in the body. I am not sure by your message if by the time you have to do the exercise with the weights have you been exercising for a while or is it the first exercise of the day. If it is the first exercise of the day you may need to warm up a little better. One should not do any kind of sport without warming up properly. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions you can message me.

you need to talk to a sports doctors such as a chiropractor or orthopedic specialist. They could tell you what was happening to your legs and things you can do that could remedy the situation. Just make sure you see a sports-Specialist .
