What's Your Mountain Dew like?

We all love know about the infamous yellow soda put into a 20 ounce green bottle. 
Not What I'm Referring To Here!  But if you have one, save it ... you'll need it after reading this post.

Think about the early morning dew.  What happens?  It didn't rain last night, not a cloud in the sky, but you walk out first thing in the morning into the grass and your feet get wet.  Why?

Basically it is a natural side effect of condensation building up on the ground when the air temperatures cool over night.  This brings moisture to the grass.  At the end of the day the earth cools down and prepares to hydrate for the next day.

It's pretty awesome in fact, because we should follow the same rule.

Hydration done right;
Starts at Night.

No joke, finish up your day with a refreshing glass of cold water.  Yes, get 8-20 ounces in.

Another thing, water is not to be confused with fluids.  Cut out the sugars and caffeine  at night.  And yes, you will have to train your bladder.  But this flushes your system and prepares you for the upcoming day.

So, where do the mountains come into play?  You want to be at the top of your game right?  You want to get results and be well prepared for the day.  So find yourself in the hole before you even get started.  Don't start your day off dehydrated!

Proper hydration will take you to a new peak in your performance.  You will feel refreshed in the morning.

Did you ever feel like you trained your hardest but didn't even break a sweat?
Doesn't make sense right?

Your body sweats to keep the body cool.  This regulates the body temperature so you can keep going at that high intensity.  That way you can give a peak performance.  You don't want to break a sweat when your already dehydrated.  And your body won't let you push it to the limit.

We are creatures of habit, designed to move

Create better habits, like this one.  And get moving!  Don't forget your water bottle!
