homework assignment
Read this article HERE on hydration and sports performance. This is a great article although I'm biased. The author was my professor and advisor at UT. Don't feel bad if you only read the intro and the summary. That's about all you need to know:)
Post comments and questions as well as a food log for today including the amount of water you drink. There is no pass or fail on what you eat. I will give you some advice and input if needed. The only fail is not posting.
I apologize (mainly to myself) that I haven't completed the workouts this week, I got thrown down sick out of no where on Monday afternoon. I plan to make them up in due time.
ReplyDeleteI know I have heard from all angles to drink 4-8% carbohydrate drinks during workouts for best results, but I have always felt good with just water. And if I do say so myself, I get in a pretty damn good amount of water everyday. I am a constant, liberal water drinker. So it is good to have articles reassuring and backing me up.
