@sabkhar828 3 года назад

The exercises in this video gave me immediate relief! I am so so grateful, I was in the most worse pain 🤍

@jenniferemi6778 8 месяцев назад

Magnesium helps with this! I kept a magnesium gel next to the bed and would put it on the calf as soon as this happened. Also pointing your toes towards you helps.

😊 Thanks a ton for this video, it was a scary and painful experience 😣😖 I thought 🤔💭 I was alone! I was already working out and stretching, but now I'm drinking more 💦 water, even before to go to bed... 'cause I rather wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom than to experience that pain again. I'll integrate those stretches as well. It would be nice to have a video of those as a follow along for those who can't memorize them all (like me 🙋‍♀️).

Morning Jessica. Thank you for the excersis tips as I have been suffering from cramps in my calf muscle during the night. I'm going to be trying these excersis out before going to bed at night to see if they will help. I do drink plenty of fluids throughout the day but I still get dehydrated and I don't understand why. I have gone off my food lately and I am suffering with migraines. Thank you for showing me the stretches. ❤

@KaazzKipp Год назад

I drink 3 glasses of water right before going to bed just to prevent leg cramps. I have them maybe once a month but when I have them and look back on my day, it's clear I didn't drink enough water throughout the day. A lot of pregnant women avoid drinking water before they go to bed because they don't wanna wake up 20 times during the night, but even if I wake up 100 times I still rather do that then go through the pain of a leg cramp. I even have a water bottle next to my bed which I take a few sips from every time I go to the toilet at night. I really believe drinking enough water is the #1 solution to leg cramps.

Hi Reinhard, I'm sorry I didn't offer a modification. This is quite common. She can stand in front of a chair and put her foot up on a chair at a 90 degree angle (bend knee) (start with right leg) then let the knee fall our gently to the right. Then with a lengthened back lean forward gently until she feels a stretch in her glute. Then repeat on the other side.
