Answer: Not Exactly
While it’s important to be well hydrated to reduce your risk of cramping after exercising, drinking a lot of water afterwards isn’t enough to eliminate cramps, says Vreeman. Instead, try light stretching to relax your muscles and take “micro breaks” -- a short stretching break -- during the day. If you’re suffering from pain related to arthritis, exercising can help strengthen the muscles surrounding your joints. Losing weight, getting enough sleep and topical medications like Icy Hot, help too, says Hagen.
