Hello, my name is Carlos Davila. I'm a personal trainer in New York City. In this clip we're going to talk about cures for leg cramps. It's marathon season and everybody's getting ready for the big marathon in the next couple of months. One of the big things you want to focus on is hydration. You want to take a sports drink and you want to take six to twelve ounces every fifteen to twenty minutes for your long endurance runs. You also want to make sure that you're hydrated with water, previous the day before the actual race and during your running. The main things you want to focus on is also your potassium intake and your sodium intake. This is why in a lot of the marathons at the end of the marathon, they give out salt and things of that sort because you want to make sure that your potassium and your sodium are at a decent level which will negate the leg cramps. Also you want to make sure that you stretch your legs as much as possible and I want to reiterate, hydrate before you run. That'll take away the leg cramps and make it easier for you to finish your run and hand that marathon. Also want to make sure to stretch before and after your run to ensure that those leg cramps don't occur. Once again this is Carlos Davila, personal trainer New York City.
