We have been picking up the pace at our Taekwondo club recently. It has been really good getting into a more solid workout.
I have been amazed at the amount of fluid I have to drink. This week, I have been going through almost 2 litres of Gatorade in each one hour session. I think I would be going through the full 2 litres if we had another drink break added. I need to get into the habit of drinking more water during the day to help with the hydration before a training session.
On the exercise side of things, I noticed I dropped a couple of kilos recently. After training last night, I dropped another 2.5 kilos. I could understand that if I was losing lots of water through sweat, but if I am replacing it with 2 litres of fluid then how does that work? Any fitness trainers out there know how this works?
My ankle has also healed and strengthened enough for me to not strap it anymore. I had to take about three weeks off training and then about two months of strapping it with tape for training. Amazing that it takes so long for ankles to heal.
