Your legs will burn, your breath will get short, and you will get thirsty. Bring water and drink plenty of it, especially in hotter climates. I have seen over 40 men in the past year suffer heat exhaustion, heat cramps, and mild to severe heat stroke, from dehydration. You MUST maintain your hydration so drink water, even when you're NOT thirsty, if you're doing any outside work. So remember to push yourself, drink plenty of water, and you will lose weight, gain endurance, and feel great physically and mentally. [ Gabriel's advice column | Ask Gabriel A Question ]
