It has been getting pretty toasty outside, so I’d like to remind everyone to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Drink at least 32 ounces of water an hour before coming to the gym, and be sure to drink even more while you’re at the gym, especially during the strength portion of the hour, to prepare yourself for the conditioning. And then drink even more post WOD. Being properly hydrated is key to performing well. Also, know your limits when you’re pushing yourselves during the workout. Don’t go overboard. Listen to your body, especially if you feel pain or lightheadedness, etc. Rhabdomyliosis is a real thing and, although it is not very common, it can occur, especially if you’re dehydrated or you don’t know your limits. Remember, it is just exercise, so let’s not die doing it, for crying out loud ; )
