Keep Hydrated!!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I recommend drinking approx 2 litres of waters during the day prior to bootcamp so you arrive already hydrated.\u00a0 Bring at least 1 litre during class and you may also want to have some electrolytes afterwards (like<a href=\"http:\/\/www.knowledgebase-script.com\/demo\/article-320.html\"> coconut water<\/a>) to replenish lost nutrients.\u00a0 Hydration is really important as it prevents muscle cramping and recovery!<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #000000; line-height: 27px;\">2. Wear Breathable Workout Clothes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Wear clothes that wick to keep you cooler or wear a sweatproof tanktop under your shirt.\u00a0 It will keep you cooler and much more comfortable.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #000000; line-height: 27px;\">3. You Gotta Wear Shades<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I know this may sound strange but you want to protect your eyes (and prevent crows feet!) It will also help you see potential potholes or even doggy doo-doo which you want to avoid at all costs.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18px; color: #000000; line-height: 27px;\">Have any tips that make working out outdoors more fun for you?
