Since I was a teenager I have been walking & been active. I am a little overweight now, but I have continued walking when I can. I have never had any trouble with my legs, feet, or anything. I used to feel like I could walk forever, it actually relieved stressed and made me feel good. I have decided that since my son started kindergarten, I am going to walk every morning to lose weight. The first day I walked 1 1/2 miles and felt good, but my legs cramped a little (in the calves area). The second day, within minutes of starting my walk, my calves starting tightening up so bad, I could barely walk. Then this morning, the same thing. Within 2 to 3 minutes of starting, my calves felt like they were tight & on fire. My legs felt so heavy. When I stopped, it relieved the pain, it was all I could do to make it to my car. I don't know what to do.I do stretches, I am hydrated, I have good walking shoes.....my Doctor just says take it slow. If I take it any slower I will be stopping.Any advice?
