I just started to incorporate cardio into my workout schedule. I?ve been running on the treadmill every other workout for the past 3 weeks. For some reason after about 15 minutes of running my abs start cramping up to the point where I have to stop. I?m really well hydrated so I don?t know why I am cramping.. Does anyone know why or what I can do about it..??

Well id say that when i trained pre season football we did a heap of running and during the session i felt the exact thing your feeling around the abs and the region, but i put this down to me being aerobically unfit at the time, im not saying your unfit but since you are introducing this cardio into your routine your body probably isnt all that used to the duration of it, if you have eliminated hydration, and a full stomach then my guess is what is said above, keep at it for a few more times and the pain will go, best of luck man, BTW looking massive in your avi brah!

When do you eat your preworkout meal?Originally Posted by Kayrock916
Bodybuilding is 60% training and 50% diet. Yes that adds up to 110%, because that's what you should be giving it. Change the inside, and the physique will follow.

An hour after you eat, your digestive system is still hard at work. When you introduce cardio into the mix, the rest of your body requires more blood volume and oxygen. This pulls blood away from the stomach and intestines = CRAMP

I compete in ultra endurance stuff and Ive always felt potassium was necessary but over rated in terms of curing cramping issues. Magnesium and Taurine imo play a great role. Lately Ive been using a product called ZYM which is just a tablet you drop into your water, it taste good and seems to keep electrolytes in check while giving you some caffeine as well. I buy mine at a bike shop but im certain you can get it online.. good luckOriginally Posted by Kayrock916
