What can you to to prevent getting a charley horse in your calf muscles?

Question:

I walk 3 to 4 miles daily and work out three times a week lately I awaken in the night with leg cramps and they are sooo painfull ..any suggestions what I can do...thank you Linda

Answers:
im a massage therapist, and what i can tell you is that you should be stretching your calves before and after your work out. take your time with the stretches, and not only calves but your entire leg. if the cramping still comes up than you can either ice the area for no longer than 10 minutes and do self massages, or if you would like to relax more, go to a massage therapist that specializes in sport massage. it really helps and relaxes your body.

i guess you should strech before and after walking
