In most cases, cramping is due to dehydration and/or mineral imbalances/deficiencies in Magnesium and Calcium.
Make sure you are maintaining proper hydration. Much of the US population is dehydrated and they don't even know it. I would question what liquids you do consume regularly. Sodas, juices, and teas are not substitutes for water. Caffeine is also a diuretic so for each caffeinated beverage you have, you have to drink even more water. If you drink bottled water(most cheap ones), reverse osmosis, or distilled then you are not replenishing your electrolytes and are effectively dehydrating yourself even more. If you are drinking one of the waters above, I'd strongly suggest you buying a quality sea salt and adding a pinch to your water when you drink it. A quality natural sea salt contains the minerals you need to maintain an electrolyte balance.
If cramping persists and becomes problematic, I would suggest finding a practitioner that offers Hair Mineral Analysis. The different minerals as well as their quantities within your body can be detected by your hair. By using a hair sample, the hair is analyzed to determine the mineral content. This will show you any imbalances you may have and the practitioner can help you get on the needed supplements to fix the imbalance.
