Ok, all you exercise Guru's..I have a question.
I do water aerobics twice a week, but have recently started hitting the elliptical and treadmill.
Thursday was 15 min elliptical (1 incline, 1 resttance), 10 treadmill (2.5). I was fine.
Friday I did 20 min elliptical (same) and 15 min treadmill. I had really bad calf cramps after working out, so I took a muscle relaxer and it helped. But I woke up with a cramps in my hamstrings.
Today I did 15 min elliptical (1 incline, 2 resistance) 20 min treadmill. Felt fine when I was done, but started having hamstring crampiness when I got home. Took Muscle relaxer.
I stretch my calf between the elliptical and the treadmill and again after the treadmill.
I weigh 328 lbs. I imagine this is very hard on my body. That's why I need the extra cardio. Do I push through and keep it up and just take the muscle relaxers or do I back off? Maybe do it less time or try just the treadmill?
I really hate to back off, but I have no idea here.
The bike is not really an option for me due to my large stomach.
Thanks!!
