I have very large leg calf's and when I go walking, my calfs will cramp and the muscles will pull very tightly... making it very hard to walk any distance.... I do stretches before I go walking, but this doesn't seem to help. Is there anything I can do to help this any??????? the muscles are as hard as a rock after i walk..... And will stay sore for days... Any exercises to help with this will be greatly Appricated....

If they are sore, and hard as a rock, it just means you need to use them more. If you just started walking expect the first couple times to get stiff.

It's a lack of potassium. Try eating 1 or 2 bananas everyday.

sounds like they're out of shape. to remedy this; stand up and lift your heels off the groud(calf rises) for 20 reps. If you need weight use dumbells. This will strengthen them.

Have you tried calcium....take at night for it will help you sleep and in some people it may take up to 3 mo. I notice a difference in one day.
