• Reduce your risk of cramps before starting your weight training routine,

Stretch out your muscles with basic stretches like Veerabadraasana, Trikonasana and Hastapadasana

This would help loosen your shoulders, hips, hamstrings and back muscles respectively.

·         Warming up before your cardio routine:

 With a few Surya Namaskar (sun salutation positions) this would not only increase the heat in your body but also help prepare your muscles to endure the high paced work out ahead.

• When focusing on your stomach muscles try combining your workout with a few marjariasana (cat stretches) before and after as this would both relax and unwind your abdomen and improve your overall blood circulation.

• When using weights:

to increase your lower back and torso muscles warm up by using the Utkatasana (chair pose) to your advantage at this would help your body ease into your workout .

• Muscle cramps and spasms during or due to the previous workouts: use the counter postures of yoga and shavasana (corpse pose) to facilitate blood flow and oxygen to the strained part of your body .

• When developing your quadriceps muscles (with squats, intense jogging or isolation exercises) end or in cases of pre existing body pain begin your routine with asanas like

Supra vajrasana , Prasarita paduttanasana and lying on back Natraja (Supta hasta pada angustanasana)to help open up and loosen your hamstrings and any pain you may have in your calves and shins.

·         And finally when ending your workout

Pranayama and Meditation to release the accumulated stress in your mind and body and keep yourself fresh throughout the day!!
