Wow this video was put together so well. I could see you guys working on them on your ig page.
Interesting stuff in this vid, thanks! And if it’s been 48 hours, and what you’re doing isn’t working, you might benefit from the articles in Cynthia Yulesin’s website. While true it may not work for everyone, try googling it if you’re looking for a faster approach.
I was working out my abs, and after i rested i went to do another set, and when i went up to do the sit up, the top of my abs did the same thing as a leg cramp
I haven’t watched this yet but why does it have like no attention
I was just laying on bed and went to move my leg to a more comfortable position but nope lmao i died inside.
I just experienced a nasty muscle cramp in my triceps. I couldn’t move my arm for at least 5 minutes.
Thanks for the vid, I’m fainting due to the heat in Australia
That was amazing, no help what so ever how to help leg cramp!
This happens all the time when I’m swimming laps and it just hits you out of nowhere. I suggest letting your legs relax or stretching it against the wall
I’m a 13 year old boy and I get these once a month without doing anything wrong.
There is a spelling error on the slide that gives exercise tips. The last bullet point should say “……for EVERY pound of………”
Other than that I enjoyed the presentation.
Do cramps happen to men because when i say i got a cramp people say period while I’m a boy
Last night I was moving to a comfortable position and my leg just starts BURNING. It was so painful. This has never happened. I got a heating pad and put my leg on it it helped. Also I ran around A LOT that only makes it worse DONT DO IT. Just use a heating pad
Fucking boomer science video, talk to me like I’m a person not a textbook
This is glorious, I have been researching “sciatica pain symptoms” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Venayden Wanillian Method (just google it )? Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got excellent results with it.
One of the worst cramps i got was while swimming. I was already 45 min into it. And then the right calf started contracting. Thank god I was in the shallow end or I could’ve drowned. There was literally no one around.
I can induce cramps on my sides of the ribs or calf if I over stretch it.
I mostly do it on accident of course when I stretch when tired.
I got it on my hand I didn’t work out either so that was weird.
I just had a left pelvis cramp. Im literally sitting on a heat pad. God that shit hurt
i’m a girl and never have belly cramps but always have cramps in my legs like every week?
It feels like my nerves are clenching together and I feel really hot and I’m getting headaches
I get leg cramps every time I drink soda sweetened with high fructose corn syrup.
I just sreached my leg and my half just went insane it was so painful I had to put a blanket in my mouth to muffle me screaming jesus
Swimmers are the gods of muscle cramps lol, I’ve had toe, feet, calf, quad… even bicep/tricep cramps. Maybe it’s not swimmers but just me and my genetics♂️
Omg goodness having the worst leg pains in both my legs any suggestions on stopping it or reducing it.
Good video with extremely bad sound/voice. Your background music makes it hard to hear and understand whatever you are talking about.
Video says you get cramps during or immediately after exercise.
people here talking about how they were sleeping and just lifted their legs to change positions and got cramps.
Well shit, you did even exercise yet
Just got off of work and the cramps on the back of my thigh will NOT stop
Stopped watching, I couldn’t hear what you were saying, the music was to loud! Turn it off!!!!
Just here after recovering from a 3 hour long abs workout and been taking creatine which ends up promoting more cramping
So this video didnt help
1/1,000 marathon runner get cramps wtf do you know how many people 1 thousand is… say were living in normal times before shutdown bro you wouldn’t even see 1000 people in a day everywhere u go… so nobody gets cramps who runs great
The guy is just saying “thoerys” lol
Therefore I’m just say what my issue is and hope for the best if anyone has any idea but also I read a lot you guys stuff trust me I didnt have exactly everything on here but I know the pain!!!
So last week jogging (fyi I havnt jogged most of the winter) i went for a longer jog like 6 mile… mile 5 or 5 mins of being done from the trail my legs both of them cramp/charlie horsed up at the front quad area so bad so I had to stop and walk… than I went on my bike and it went away pretty fast
That said today like 3 days since last time only a 2 mile or so jog both my legs same thing only this time were talking more painful like hurt to even bend the knee when you walk and just now about 7 hrs after this happened there finally feeling better…btw I nvr stretch like do I need to stretch or should I just go smaller routes until they build up again cuz this is a first… I’m 33 and its same thing each year I take winter off I dont jog in cold but I cycled which is even colder but still I live in tampa FL we had like 3 cold days this year lol… but yeah I never had these charlie horses after jogging its bizarre I’m not too concerned I just will try again but just asking if there is something to remedy this issue
Thx
Daniel tampa FL
Like an idiot I lifted weights for 3 hours straight this morning and now I’m cramping like hell
I got cramps in both my feet at the same time while playing soccer an that hurts like hell idek what to do at the time
Couldn’t stand more than 10 sec. Of this stupid loud music and boring reading voice
Bro, i was just laying in my bed last night and turned over and my calf just started flexing REALLY hard and it hurt like crap and i couldn’t stop it. It scared the crap out of me I thought I was having a seizure or something
I never had cramp over my life and when my friend said that he cramp i ask and tell what is cramp he like what the tf
Cramps are caused by overloading the fatigued muscles by staying in one position. Nervous system try to compensate by overexciting the muscles while the loading on the muscles impairs blood flow thus depleting ATP supply and consequently puts it in a positive feedback loop for contraction.
There is man who had a car accident a year ago, he broke his C4 and went under surgery. After surgery he was advised for Physiotherapy which he did took, and he was able to walk and use his arms (Not fully). The man is now getting cramps and complains pain. His whole leg gets in full extension with force including his toes, and when he tries to relax or a simple touch or little movement to his leg triggers that forced extension of leg and he feels pain because of that.
So this is a considered as cramps as well, if so then why is he having that…??
Also what are the ways to get his cramps fixed…??
Thanks for providing such a great content through your videos!:)
Thank you to refresh my old belief and physiology lesson.
Just a question on the part about the treatments you present at the end: are the all in a prevention aspect? Or in a curative aspect?
Because at the end you talk again about stretching, which I considered as the most effective curative technique, but not preventive.
You can always count on your videos being excellent quality with good information and what I love is the information is always concise never a 20 minute video with ads, only what is necessary!
It happend to ms when I was playing my ps4 with my friend and I kept telling my grandma I can’t move my leg it hurts all she did was just sit their
video looks incredible, well made/ edited. Obviously good content as well!!
