Cross Training Questions

Why do my feet cramp when I exercise?

When I do exercise such as step class or Tae Bo my feet cramp. I wear cross trainer shoes and stretch before class.

1. Do you have flat feet? I have em and I have the same problem. I just fight thru it and finish the workout.
2. u are not stretching long enough
3. You may be having a low blood sugar moment. One way to prevent that is to eat a small, protein heavy, snack about 45 minutes prior to exercise. Be sure you are getting enough potassium, vitamin B and calcium.
4. I have the same problem. Usually when I go running, my arches begin to hurt like hell. I've heard that it could be the way that you land on your feet (i.e. if the outer edge of your foot touches the ground first when you step). You may want to try getting arch supports for your shoes.
5. You need new shoes...
