Keep your muscles free of charley horses for good.
Muscles were made to move, contract, and rest, so if you're doing anything out of the ordinary–sitting at a conference all day, standing in line at an amusement park–you might experience some leg cramping. Standing for a prolonged period of time can understandably contribute to muscle fatigue, which in turn can cause cramping, Dr. Sontag says.
But too much sitting isn't necessarily better. Prolonged sitting"may predispose the muscles to malfunction," he explains, as the muscle fibers may become hyperactive. When the muscle is"on" and can't relax, you end up getting a cramp. If you get leg cramps from standing, make sure to take a seat before your muscles feel too tired.
