7/24 - Importance of Hydration

I know most of you are very good about drinking water. I see lots of very cool water bottles at the gym, and I appreciate how well you're taking care of yourselves. Hydration is especially important when we WOD or play during the summer. 

Do you know how much water you're drinking during the day? Do you know who much you should drink daily? A good place to start is to consume 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water. For example if you weigh 140 pounds, you should drink 70 ounces of water each day. You will notice an increase in the number of bathroom visits, but you will notice a bit of weight loss and improved skin quality. The best benefit of adequate hydration is improved performance and recovery. Watch the video from Dr. Kelley Starrett's Mobility WOD to learn more about proper hydration and its benefits. 

Today we are working on pullups. If you have pullups you'll work on efficiency. If you don't yet have a pullup, you'll be working on strength. 

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 mins of:
