Dehydration and Exercise: A Quick Note

I'm writing this as I am in West Palm Beach Florida for the weekend.

Not really a vacation, more of a business trip as I am attending a conference that will help my business and help serve many of you better.

I wanted to make a quick note on dehydration and exercise:
I'm not sure how many of you do it, but I did a normally pretty simple workout this morning but could only do half the effort as my mouth was dry, I was out of breath the entire time (you'll see below that the workout wasn't anything to gasp at).

I feel like I just ran a marathon. I'm currently carrying around a water bottle wherever I go. And I don't care if I have to run to the bathroom every ten minutes.

Word of advice: To get the most out of your workout, be hydrated. I have said this before but you are limiting yourself if you don't. Want to see more results? Drink water and watch your efforts increase, your energy increase. Water is the foundation of your body as it makes up over 3/4 of your makeup!

WOD
Run loop (about 1/10 mile)
20 Prisoner Squats
10 One arm Push ups each arm
As many rounds as you can in 20 minutes
