Week 2 finished and I only have a couple of casualties. Again last night we had perfect weather for the workout. It wasn't too hot and the bugs didn't really make an appearance.Apparently I have to go out and remark the trail because people keep getting lost on the way back. Or maybe they are just keeners that want more of a workout. I'll get out there with the yellow blaze tape or the DO NOT CROSS POLICE line. I still count it as a success because I didn't lose anyone in the woods (except maybe Barry???).
People were huffing and puffing last night as I introduced a couple new exercises. Most of you have the form of the exercises down, now would be a time to partner up with someone (if you already haven't) and use them to either push you or pace you. The point of the workout is to push yourself to get better, but I also want you to be having fun (fun? Insert groan here) while you are doing it.
Don't forget to keep up the skipping every second day and you will be good at it in no time. Practicing your pushups wouldn't hurt your form either, to start try 3 sets of 10 with a good rest in between each set. See how many mornings in a week you can keep this up, then add extra sets in weeks to come. If you are in need of more workouts to do during the week, I will be assigning homework after week 4, so rest up!

Tip of the week: Hydration in the 24-48 hours of an event or heavy workout is essential to the rebuilding of muscles. Think of it as lubricant for the carbs and protein to do their work. Just don't overhydrate while you are eating, it actually hurts the digestion process by hurting/washing away the enzymes needed in digestion. So drink, drink, wait, eat, wait, drink some more. Also, your body tolerates luke warm water better than cold, the change in temperature actually shocks the digestive system and somewhat slows the digestion process. The truth hurts...
