Stop and Rehydrate.: Heat cramps are thought to from heavy exercise or over exertion during hot weather. This type of weather causes an excessive amount of sweating which can cause dehydration. Along with the loss of water is a loss of electrolytes. This is thought to cause the cramping. Best to start drinking an electrolyte and salt replenishing product such as Gatorade. Cooling your body down will also help.
