Charlie Horse/muscle spasm in Abdominal muscles?

For the past several months, I have been getting horrible muscle spasms on my right upper abdominal muscles when i do ab work. I have worked out my entire life and all of a sudden I can’t do but maybe 60 crunches w/out getting a charlie horse. The muscle spasm will last maybe 3 minutes, but it seems like forever!! This is really frustrating because my abs are not as strong as they used to be. I do drink TONS of water during my workout. I need to figure this out so I can get back to my normal routine.

Thanks! :)

Is this normal while doing situps?

I have an ab-lounge and up until about 6 months ago, I had a regular abdominal workout going. I decided to resume that today since my move is finally complete. Since, I haven’t done it in a while, I planned on taking it easy. I did about 25 situps on the ablounge and my stomach started having a spasm. The muscle would get real tight (like a charlie horse) and last about 5 seconds and go away. I tried a few more and it did it like four more times. I did not know if this was an indication of a problem so I stopped. Is this normal? Am I just out of shape? If not, what could it be? Could I be sick or something?
