Unbalanced Training Speech

You train hard with both weights and cardio, but for some reason you’re still not lean. Sound familiar? If so, you may find yourself wondering how it’s possible to seemingly do everything right and still not see a ripped physique in the mirror.

How much water is enough? That depends. Six to eight 8 oz. glasses of water is the recommended amount. Some people need more; some less. It's really individual,

You can become dehydrated without even realizing anything is wrong. Many body functions use water, using up what is already inside your body. Drink water often and rest frequently, especially in hot weather.

1. Commitment. It takes a good deal of commitment to add muscle. Commit to training 3-4 times per week. This will stimulate and strain the muscles and allow them to grow. After you return home rest the

There is a recommended amount of water not to drink that if you do will send you into overhydration. The amount of water you drink depends on your weight.(MedicalNewsToday) It is different for everybody the amount of water a 100 pound man will need is different from a 300 pound man. But the recommended amount not to pass is between 27 to 33 ounces per hour(MedicalNewsToday). So if someone is just sitting around they shouldn't drink a large cup of water.But if they just finished playing football for a couple hours they should be

A person becomes dehydrated when the fluid loss in their body exceeds two percent of that person’s body weight (2). Even the lowest level of dehydration can have major effects on athletic performance; a loss of just two percent body loss can lead to a reduction in performance by ten to twenty percent (6). Dehydration greater then three percent of body weight extremely disturbs physiological function, and increases that risk for heat related illness (1). If you are going to let your body become dehydrated while working out, there will be more harm then good that comes from it, and it would defeat the purpose of working out in the first place. Dehydration impairs training quality and also increases stress levels in that individual

On average, a person needs eight ounces of water eight times a day to stay hydrated. Different people need different amounts depending on many factors like height and weight and so forth. Some will only need six glasses a day, while some will need more than eight. It is common knowledge that water is the best way to hydrate, but people can get hydrated by many other drinks and foods as well. Fruits and vegetables, sport drinks, juices, milk, and herbal teas all lend a hand in hydrating the body. On the other side, alcohol and caffeinated beverages, like soda and the beloved coffee, increase the chance of dehydration (Holm 2010).

There is also a test you can give yourself to check if you are hydrated or dehydrated. This test is called a skin turgor (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000982.htm#Signs%20and%20tests). This is performed by pulling the skin on the back of your hand, and observes how long it takes for your skin to return to normal. If your skin remains in a pinched type form, your body is dehydrated. Another test you can use to determine if you are hydrated or not, is to take a sample of your urine and see if it’s a dark shade of yellow. If it is, you are not drinking enough water to hydrate your body. For the Cerritos College Wrestling team we needed to take a hydration test, which determines how much weight we are allowed to lose during the season. For this test, physicians took a urine sample then tested the color of it with a magnifying machine.

The reporter stated Ms. Rich’s urine tested positive for Opiates and marijuana at the delivery of her baby girl; it’s unknown if the child tested positive but the meconium test are pending. The reporter stated Ms. Rich did not receive any prenatal care but told administration she received care in Galveston, TX. Ms. Rich told the reporter the doctor passed and she’s unable to get records of the prenatal care. The reporter stated the child did not have any complications or side effects during delivery. When confronted with the positive test, Ms. Rich denied using marijuana but that she was around people smoking it. Ms. Rich also admitted taking Lora tab and another unknown drug for pain that was not prescribed to her.

First, I will explain the symptoms of dehydration, which can have some serious ill effects on the body. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, dehydration happens when your body is deficient of the appropriate amount of water it needs to function. Dehydration can range from mild, moderate to severe. The ways a person can become dehydrated are through sweating in hot weather, exercising, illness and urinating too much. Which could be caused by medications and uncontrolled diabetes, also drinking alcohol and caffeinated beverages, such as soda, coffee and tea are also known as diuretics. Symptoms of dehydration can range from thirst, dry or sticky mouth, dark yellow urine, headache, and muscle cramps, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, sunken eyes and irritability. To prevent dehydration one should drink enough water everyday even when you are feeling good. Also drink extra amounts of water on hot days and when you are exercising. There is a simple skin test to tell if you are dehydrated called Skin Turgor. This is done by pulling the skin from the top of your hand

Dr. Miller’s research addressed the problem of telling athletes too drink before, during, and after workouts, whether or not they are thirsty. He found that athletes who abided by this rule could drink gallons upon gallons of fluids that their body did not need. The large amount of excess water if not lost by sweating or urination, instead entered the bloodstream. This decreased the

I hope this message finds you well! I wanted to reach out to you regarding our conversation about presenting the "toolbox training" to the high school para pros. Christina, when we spoke last week, you were not sure if we wanted to work to get something set up in the upcoming weeks, or if we were going to hold off for the moment. I am just checking in to see if you had a chance to think about this, and wondering if the team has made any decisions? There is no pressure at all, we are happy to oblige whenever the time is right for the Mattawan team. If there is anything we can do to help out during this hectic part of the school year, please do not hesitate to let us know!

Although it is hard to set guidelines for hydration, the American Council on Fitness have recommended the following numbers in regards to athletic performance of a moderate to high intensity exercise:

Water is about 60% of the adult human body weight. The relative importance of water is readily apparent through the role it plays in various systems of the body. The popular notion, therefore, exists that one must drink eight 8-oz glasses of water, which amounts to about 2 L, per day. Currently, the Institute of Medicine states that the total beverage intake for men should be about 13 cups or 3 L and for women 9 cups or 2.2 L ("Water: How Much…”). The right amount of water one should drink each day ultimately depends on a number of factors, such as where one lives, the amount of activity, and personal health. My average daily water intake is less than the recommended amount of 2-3 L, which affects the physiological functions of my cardiovascular and renal systems.

A minimum of eighty ounces of water a day (five water bottles) for seven days felt like a good starting point. Since I began to drink the eighty ounces of water on Monday, September 25, Monday’s would be the start of a new week and Sundays the end. The plan was to increase by one water bottle or sixteen-ounces each week until my goal was met, so eight ounces on week one, ninety-six ounces by week two, and one hundred and twelve ounces by week three.
