Splits muscle craps! Owie!
So, weird question…
I’ve always had an issue with the “outer quads,” which is where most of my knee problems come from. They are definitely getting better… I do a lot of exercises for them, make sure that they can lift up to the side, do squats and plies, and all of that business. I’ve been knee-pain-free for several months now! But, they have issues with pulling my legs out when I want to stretch for the splits!
Specifically, I sit on the floor, make sure to get my bum under me, and then pull my legs open. I get so far, and after about ten second or so, I want to go a little father (because the stretch sensation has gone away).
So, I try to pull them open… And my outer leg and my bum cramps up like crazy! I tend to curl up like a sea anenome at that point. It HURTS!Yes, I’m warm when I’m stretching. I tend to retain heat well. I notice that, no matter how warm I get, my thighs tend to feel colder to the touch, but… muscle-wise, they sure feel warm! I just chalk that up to my hands being exceptionally hot- they do that when I exercise.
I, eh, also get this in certain positions while… “doing things” with the boyfriend? Leg cramps suck and I usually have to call a halt to all activity for a few minutes.
So… any help? I don’t want leg cramps anymore!!
