I had high hopes this morning for getting out to the gym to make a 0930 Yoga class. But fate interceded and kept me home. What's a girl to do who needs to get her Yoga on? Rely on her own bits and pieces to get the job done, that's what!
Unfortunately for me, I haven't practiced Yoga in what seems like ages. So to ensure that I didn't overreach I decided to ease back into the practice gently. Even though my downward facing dogs weren't perfect (in truth I'm jealous of my own dog's perfect pose... but I think she's just showing off!) and my triangles a bit wobbly, I feel all the better for it. My muscles are excited, remembering the wonderful calm that Yoga brings to my mind and body.
Warrior, anyone?

Fluid Replacement for Exercise in the Heat
1. Weigh in without clothes before and after exercise, especially during hot weather. For each pound of body weight lost during exercise, drink two cups of fluid.
2. Drink a rehydration beverage containing sodium to quickly replenish lost body fluids. The beverage should also contain 6-8% glucose or sucrose.
3. Drink 17-20 fluid ounces of water or sports drink, 2-3 hours before practice or competition.
4. Drink 7-10 fluid ounces of water or sports drink, 10-20 minutes before the event.
5. Drink 7-10 fluid ounces of water or sports drink every 10-20 minutes during training and competition.
6. Do not restrict fluids before or during an event.
7. Avoid beverages containing caffeine and alcohol because they increase urine production and add to dehydration.
