It's always important to come to CFK well hydrated. During this hot and humid weather, however, it is vital to be well hydrated. Consider doing the following to help prevent serious medical conditions arise:
- drink fluids that contain additional electrolytes (i.e. Gatorade, Powerade) to replace what is lost during exercise through sweat - if you follow Paleo or Primal and don't do sugar, just add a pinch of salt (preferably sea salt), or two, to your water for CFK
It is important to keep your fluids and electrolytes in check. Consuming too much water, without any electrolyte replacement, can have a negative effect and lead to further medical compliactions.
If you start to feel any cramping during this hot weather, it is strongly advised to stop activity. If you don't, very serious medical complications can develop. These complications could put you on the sidelines for quite sometime.
