A great way to prevent exercise related injuries is to make sure you stretch. It is important to make sure that when you are stretching, you do so properly.
Even if you are only focusing on one specific area that day, it is important to stretch your whole body. A 30 second stretch is not a smart way to go.
It is important to your body that you keep the same core stretch routine. If you are going to be doing a more intense workout, it is ok to do some more intense stretching as well.
If you find you are cramping in your workout, it is likely that you are dehydrated. Water will help rehydrate you as well as help with the cramp pain. One way to prevent this is to stretch properly before and after your workout.
