Admit it: Side cramps are painful and limit the amount of training you could do. Here's how to treat excessive pain.
Steps
Step 1. Identify the exact point of pain
You shouldn't roughly assess that it is the hip rather than the neck, but you should try to figure out which area hurts you the most.
Step 2. Lie on your back and put water in the palm of your hand
Splash the water or place a warm towel on the cramped area.
Step 3. Rub some water on the area until the cramp disappears
Step 4. Wait 10 minutes before starting your workout or work again
Step 5. Later, if possible, you can take a warm bath
If that doesn't work, call a doctor as it could be something more serious.
Advice
- One of the main causes of cramps is dehydration Some studies have shown that at least 90% of athletes in a gym are dehydrated. Even if you are not thirsty, remember to drink a lot when exercising.
- Getting plenty of water helps your body recover faster.
- Try stretching for a couple of minutes. If you have a cramp on the right side of the abdomen, then bend to the left, put your arm over your head and stretch. It works!
- Drinking the juice from the pickles helps a lot. Strange as it may seem, brine has properties that help the body heal from cramps!
- Take deep breaths as you stretch to relax the muscles and stop the cramp quickly.
- If you continue to loosen up and ignore the cramps, the pain will transfer to the area between the left shoulder and the left chest.
- Do not overeat before training. A sports energy product will give you all the energy and calories you need without weighing you down on your stomach.
- The electric warmer sometimes helps relieve pain.
- Try to drink a little water before and during training. In some cases, too much water in the stomach before exercise makes cramps worse. However, CONSUME plenty of water throughout the day.
