Try adding Crystal Lite to your water, it may make it easier.  Leg cramps on no joke!

Have a great day!

So, I went to my first Tango class last night.  It was a relatively easy class, I only broke out in a light sweat.  In the other classes I've taken I'm drenched when its over and I'm downing water nonstop during and after class.

Well I learned the hard way you need to get your water in no matter the level of your work out.  In the wee hours of the morning I awoke with such pain I thought I was going to die.  I had charlie horse type cramps in both feet, shins and calves.  Now, I've been taking dance classes in Salsa, Swing and Cuban Rueda (really hefty dancing) for almost a year now, so I couldn't figure out why I was in pain.

The pain was so bad I was yelling out as if I were having a baby.  Any slight move would increase the pain... I'm talking severe pain.  Finally, my daughter called the paramedics.  My toes were curling, my feet were arching, my calves and shins throbbing, I just wanted to cut my legs off it hurt so bad.

Turns out, I was dehydrated.  Never mind I drank a soda (...yeah I know!) before bed.  I was still dehydrated.  After gulping down 64 oz of water, my legs returned to normal.

DRINK YOUR WATER!!!
