As I’m heading out the door to my workout gym, the thought crosses my mind that you just got to keep using your muscles if you want to stay in any kind of healthy shape.  And with working out comes a whole set of considerations to keep in mind. You want to take into consideration your age and present condition and choose your physical activity regimen appropriately.  Make sure you are working your muscles and cardiovascular system just enough to slowly increase in stamina as you get in shape.  The benefits to your entire muscular body and heart will be immense.

Also, it’s of extreme importance to make sure you stay hydrated properly when you know you are expelling fluids through physical exercise.  Fluids that contain electrolytes are ideal to drink because they not only quench thirst, but help provide needed salts like sodium and potassium.  Prevention of muscle cramps during physical activity is often attributed to good electrolyte replenishment.  So, besides drinking plenty of water, make sure you find a good energy drink that replaces electrolytes that you expel while working your body.  Help yourself absorb fluids for re-hydration as effectively as possible.  It’s all part of using it so you don’t lose it!
