You know how you always get excited when the sun comes out and the weather gets nicer? The same thing happens with my yoga practice. I love that it’s not just about the physical benefits; it’s about the attitude and energy you get from it. So, when the weather gets cooler and I get to go on a yoga retreat, I’m not just doing it for myself but for everyone else who’s interested in getting the most out of their workouts.
Like most of you, I’m a really big fan of the term “yoga retreat.” Its a phrase that has been used a hell of a lot for years. But I think there’s a whole spectrum of terms to describe these retreats. I personally think they can be anything from a day of meditation to a full-on week of yoga.
And in this particular case, that could mean a day of Zumba to a week of full-on yoga. In Zumba, you run around like a lunatic in a circle doing weird moves like jumping up and down and doing the splits. And in yoga, you go to a class with your teacher where you hold a pose for a certain period of time before you move on to the next pose.
Not that I’m recommending you go to yoga! But it’s a good idea to be aware your body changes in these sorts of sessions. Because if you’re not aware of it, you may find that you’re able to do too much and overdo it. So make sure you take a break and then come back a while later and do it once again. If you do it several times, you’ll start to get good at it.
I like to do a lot of exercise and yoga. The thing to remember is that you can go from very intense or very relaxing to very intense or very relaxing. So try to be aware of any side effects. One of the most important things to do is to get plenty of water. Also, be aware that you tend to sweat more when you’re sweating hard.
It can be helpful to drink a couple of cups of water before exercise. It is also important to be hydrated, but more on that in another video. If you are able to hydrate before exercise, it will help you to hold in the sweat and stay cool. When you are sweating hard, this is your body’s attempt to cool you down by producing sweat. If you are sweating very hard, this is the opposite of what you want.
It’s important to drink plenty of water before exercise. If you are dehydrated, you are at risk for hyponatremia. It’s caused by the water you drink evaporating from your body, causing a low sodium level in your blood. A sodium level of less than 135 is a good sign that you are drinking enough water. A sodium level of over 135 is a good sign that you are dehydrated.
The best way to get enough water is to drink water while exercising. If you are not drinking enough water during exercise you will not be able to flush your body of sweat and prevent hyponatremia.
I am sure that anyone reading this has been on Deathloop in the past few days. The new trailer is chock full of cool new powers and new weapons, and I can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Deathloop is an awesome game, but after playing it for a few days I am a little concerned that the water might not be flushing my sodium levels to where they need to be. I am going to hold off on drinking that much water for a few days.
