Muscle twitches after exercises have the scientific name of benign fasciculations. Benign fasciculations can occur even in the absence of exercise, although exercise is a well known trigger of this condition. Benign fasciculations usually involve the feet, hands, arms, or legs, although almost any muscle can be affected. By their very definition, they are benign and aren't indicative of serious underlying disease.
Benign fasciculations or muscle twitches after exercise is surprisingly common. After the muscles have undergone an intense workout, biochemical changes take place as the muscle responds to the stress of exercised Lactic acid builds up in the fatigued muscle and formation of free radicals occur which believe can alter the excitability of muscle tissue.
A stitch is a sharp pain in the side, often brought on by exercising or laughing too hard and getting a cramp in the rib muscles.
Tendons and ligaments along with muscles, cramp due to low potassium.
Muscular cramp occurs when the oxygen demand by muscles is greater than what the body can provide. When the supply is less than the demand, the muscles start to undergo anaerobic respiration - this results in a build-up of lactate in the muscles. When the levels of lactate become too high, the muscles cramp.
Like most muscles, the triceps can cramp after a period of exercise, and is usually caused by poor posture, insufficient stretching, or overtraining. Muscles may also cramp as a result of dehydration, or as a result of certain acute medical conditions.
You are out of shape and got a cramp.

To prevent or alleviate a hip abduction cramp during exercise, you can try stretching before and after your workout, staying hydrated, and ensuring you have proper form while exercising. Additionally, incorporating strength training exercises for the hip abductor muscles can help prevent cramps.
Stop doing whatever activity triggered the cramp, Gently stretch and massage the cramping muscle, holding it in stretched position until the cramp stops, and Apply heat to tense/tight muscles, or cold to sore/tender muscles.
by exercising them
intermittent claudication
your muscles get so tired from all the exercise that they can't handle the amount of exercise, because of this your muscle produces a chemical called LACTIC ACID which then causes cramp/stitch......
When muscular exertion consumes the available oxygen and needs more energy, an anerobic metabolic process is used which produces lactic acid as a by-product; too much lactic acid will then cause the muscles to cramp.
