Leg cramp rant

[Brawny77]

Woke up at 2 a.m. with leg cramps. I got up and drank an electrolyte drink ( Gatorade zero) took ibuprofen and stretched.

Lost 45 minutes of sleep. I had done a long bike ride on my stationary bike so that probably drained my electrolytes .

Not a good night. Now I gotta go to work and deal with people and their problems.

I get cramp if I eat and drink carbs/ sugars. Hope you are doing well today x

I am okI laid off the bike for 1 day but I plan a long ride later today then I will drink a zero calorie Gatorade and see if that keeps the leg cramps away tonight. Might wind up doing pickle juice shots next lol

Hi there, magnesium is important for this. Are you getting enough? Bananas are quite high in it🙂

Hope you enjoy next cycle

I will try that too. No cramps last night!

I actually take a magnesium supplement. 400 mg every night works like a charm.
