i used to be super fit last year and could easily run a 10K, follow long HIIT workouts, and just was in overall good shape. i took a couple months off and didn’t think i’d lose that much strength.
within the past week or two i’ve increased my exercise a lot trying to get back there, and i’m having more muscle cramps than ever before. i might’ve pushed myself too far too fast, but even after resting for a couple days i can’t hold yoga poses without my hamstring acting up. i walk down the stairs after a 15 min workout and my quads start cramping.
i still want to be burning enough calories every day, i just don’t know how long it’ll take for my body to adjust.
i’m wondering if there’s anything i can do besides resting and waiting it out? i try to keep myself hydrated w electrolytes, and started getting into yoga to improve my flexibility (but i can’t stretch without cramping right now). any advice is appreciated!!
