Microtears: People who begin new exercise programs or increase intensity or length of their programs are prone to such cramps thought to be due to microtears in muscles. Best to slow down to the point where you don't experience cramps for a longer time before pushing yourself more to avoid injury. Sometimes people have cramps due to abnormal concentrations of potassium, calcium, and sodium. Doc can check.

Talkin' Bout Walkin': Was this a hiking trip or the start of a fitness program? Do you weigh 120 pounds or 210 pounds? Were you sweating a lot? Did you take enough fluids (water or water with minerals) Are you sore? Is walking like that new for you? Do you have any problems in your blood vessels? Medications? Smoke? Drink? -Try 1/2 cashew milk plus 1/2 cow's milk (calcium, potassium) plus light massage and stretching.
