How can I prevent palm cramps in my left hand when playing scales on my guitar?

Q. My palm (especially the area between my thumb and wrist) sometimes have horrible cramps when I do scale work on guitar, and gets gradually worse as I go faster on the metronome.

Does my hand muscles just need to get strengthened, or am I doing something wrong posture-wise?


Answer
the other advice here, as well as hold the neck a little more upright. (I bought a foot stool for one of my feet that helps you maintain the correct posture, try that out)
