Today was another great HITFIT Session! This week we conducted the daily challenge previously posted a few days ago which consisted of Deadlifts, Squats, and Push Presses. Not only does this workout rank up there with one of the hardest we have accomplished, but it did not help matters that is was roughly 101 degrees outside here today.
This workout took every last bit of energy we had to complete in the 20 minute time limit. Luckily we expected this type of weather and had been hydrating for days leading up to the workout.
It goes without saying if you plan to exercise or do any manual labor out in the hot sun one should always stay hydrated. The body can live without a lot of things, but water is not one of them. Being as we are Combat Instructors we see on a day to day basis the importance of staying hydrated. We have students that train for 29 days straight out in this hot weather. Although they are encouraged to drink 2 to 4 gallons of water a day we still have them drop like flies with outrageous core temps. Just as a friendly reminder all individuals should do their best to consume a gallon of water a day at a minimum. If this is accomplished then you will never have to worry about your body trying to shut down on you due to lack of H2O!
In closing I would like to again invite all those interested in participating in a Saturday Session to leave me a comment with how to get ahold of you, and I will make sure you know when and where to be for next Saturday! Hope to see you there!
