What can I do if I get cramps at the bottom of my feet when exercising?

 If you get cramps in the bottom of your feet during exercise this is likely due to weakness in the muscles of the arch or bottom of the foot and tightness in the calf muscles. To reduce this stretch and relax the muscles of the calf and strengthen the muscles of the arch. Use a foam roll on the tight spots on the calf by laying down and placing your weight on the calves and foam roll back and forth for 30 seconds. Follow this with static stretching to lengthen the calf muscles by holding a stretch for 30 seconds. To strengthen the muscles of the feet perform exercises in a shoe with minimal arch support or exercise barefoot on an unstable surface. By having less arch support the muscles of the foot will strengthen.
