Re: cramping up during cardio

Ive started back doing cardio and I keep getting a sharpe pain in my rib cage area about 8 or 9 minutes in. Ive gotten this plently of times before, but it wasnt always consistantly. Now ive gotten it ALL 3 times this weekend I tried running on a tredmill. It slowly goes away if I stop running and walk, but the second I start jogging or running again within a minute or two the shape pain creeps back in to the point where its unbearable. This has happened 3 days in a row. What's going on and how can I stop this?

Do 100 abs before you start running. Do 25 upper ab...25 lower ab...25 each oblique. It worked for me. Gets the muscles a little warmed up before running.
