Why am i getting cramps in my calves?

Ok then, the weight can be ruled out as the reason for the cramps you’re having. People really can have cramps from having excessive weight. In this case, there are several possibilities. You might run improperly, meaning that your feet hit the ground in an improper angle or something like that. You should try to determine how you place your feet while running. Another thing can be uncomfortable shoes, because people are very careless when choosing running shoes, which is a big mistake. It’s possible that you’ve bought rigid running shoes which don’t allow your feet to move properly. Also, try to determine your foot type and buy shoes in accordance with it. Or maybe your muscles have been inactive for a longer period of time and they’re now adjusting to running.

I have been waking up recently with really bad cramps in my calves. I will also get them when turning or stretching my legs. What could be the cause of this?

I am having a very slight pulsing in both of my calves. It is not cramp. It has not happened to me before. It is not at all painful and I feel very good otherwise. Any thoughts?

The same problem applies to me as well. Both of my calves are pulsing very faintly right now. Not a cramp at all. I've never experienced it before.

I assume you have been stretching.  If not then the first thing to try is stretching.  If you have been stretching people often don't stretch properly.  It's OK to stretch a single area but you also have to stretch the entire length of the body.  When stretching the calf you also want to stretch up the leg, all the way up the back, include the neck and the back of the head.  The entire "back line".  Start by standing in front of a flight of step or a stool.  Bend forward and rest your hands on the second step.  Do not bend your knees and tuck your chin.  If you can't keep the knees straight and tuck your chin because the stretch is too much then use a chair and put your hands on a chair.  It's not important how far down you can reach.  It is important that you stretch what needs to be stretched.  

OK, you are bent over, your chin is tucked, your knees are straight, your feet are parallel, your hands are supporting your weight on a step or a chair.  Now rock your body weight forward onto your hands to increase the angle of the ankle to get a better stretch from the floor up.  This gives you a stretch from the back of the head (tucked chin) all the way to the bottom of the feet (leaning forward on your hands).  Hold this position for 30-60 seconds.  Careful when you stand back up to not get dizzy.  

If stretching doesn't help you are dehydrated with a need for minerals.  Most likely magnesium.  Get a magnesium supplement and take as instructed on the bottle.  A more rounded mineral hydration supplement might be a better choice because Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous and Potassium are all important.  If your joints ache around the sides you could also benefit with Manganese.  If the joints ache in the middle glucosamine.
