Drink Water If you are waiting for a sign...

Temperatures are going to be getting up over 100 for the next few days. I tell the people that workout in my gym with me that NOW is the time to hydrate. As little as a 1% reduction in the body's hydration level can result in as much as a reduction of 17% in performance. Imagine that? Almost a quarter in reduction. Can you afford any less than what you already are giving? I sure can't. While on the subject, how about eating stuff out of your own backyard? I have tomatoes, zucchini , peppers, beans, grapes, oranges, lemons, limes, basil, and peaches growing in my yard. Eat that stuff before you eat something packaged at the grocery store. I have a participant with classic "sciatica". We've been struggling with it for a couple weeks. Then like a blast from the pass, it occurred to me, PNF stretching for the hamstring/glutes. Almost like magic...Voila' (or at least I hope) Today's Training: Run: 3.1 miles Both Tiers: Inline DB Chest Press: Work up to a heavy 8 reps Once there do 3 more sets of 8   Chest Pin Press: about 4" above the chest work p to a really heavy 6 reps then do three more sets of 6 Stretcher Push ups: 3x35 OHP: 10x5 Indian Club Front Raise: 3x12 Shrugs: 4x10
