Training in the Heat | Hydration, Cardiovascular Adaptation, and Heat Acclimatization

[@KJfreshh69]

Try coming to Tennessee in late July /august. Humidity 130,000% can’t even look outside without pouring sweat. I took a trip out west and checked out the heat and much rather can deal with that heat.

[@TheMASDrummer]

I've had hyponatremia many times and boy it is horrible

[@TheMovementSystem]

If you’re really susceptible to it you could look into sweat testing. I don’t know too much about it but it may be helpful

[@breannafields5622]

Such an awesome video! I do motorcycle racing and I just moved to Arizona from SoCal. I was struggling with training at first, not enough water, but now I average a bit over 64oz for a 2-3 hour training session with electrolytes and it made such a difference!

[@danv4253]

Evaporative cooling really helps! Expose some skin, run without a shirt on. But, remember the sunscreen.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Especially true if you have some wind

[@dotastillthebest5474]

Would you say that running in the heat is more effective and leads to better improvements?

[@melisadelcastillocabrales9090]

Can you make a video for the heat weather but also humid? Or just provide any recommendations for me, please. I’ve been training in both hot climates (dry and humid) and it has been harder when I have to training in humid and hot weather, specially for long runs.

[@sony-hq3uz]

7:35 is it good idea to mix little bit of sodium with multivitamins..?

[@Adonis8989]

Thanks for the video, very informative. Been working out in my garage for the past 2 years. Summers are extremely humid and brutal here and the winters get pretty cold, but I’ve adjusted pretty well.

[@harryv6752]

Summer here in the southeast. And I sure do love training in this muggy heat. It really doesn't bother me. While most would prefer to be indoors with the AC on blast, I get outside whenever I can, walking, running, cycling, mountain biking, hiking, rucking, or doing strength or plyometric circuits in my backyard. And yeah, hydration, electrolytes, and sunscreen are a must. Keep on rockin'! 🤘

[@patrodgers7684]

Thanks for making this video. I train a lot of BJJ in an extremely humid gym and I had heat exhaustion, had to go to the hospital and my electrolytes were all out of whack.

[@nastaransargoli]

Great information, thank you so much 🌸

[@RunningDaddeh]

Thanks for all this wonderful info. Just 1 quick question, how often should I run in the heat as part of my training? I run around 4-5 times a week, but mostly in cool mornings and afternoons. Thank you.

Measuring expertise on the basis of one's ability to explain complex subjects to untrained people, you are superior. Subscribed. Followed on Spotify. Thanks for sharing!

[@TheMovementSystem]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the content

[@PeytonKohnke]

What is happening during the heat, that compares to training at altitude? Blood moving away from vital organs and then what?

[@STEVE-lk2ft]

Is so easy when you’re stupid, don’t train in the heat, train and work in the early morning when it’s cooler!

[@jazzadickens10]

💪🏻

[@churchmember4609]

Outstanding information. Particularly regarding the length of acclimation time necessary.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Appreciate it!

[@natlovell122]

Really appreciate your videos! I live in Fresno, Ca so we have summer weather similar to Henderson, trip digits for months. Looking tan dude, def not low on vitamin d3 haha

[@TheMovementSystem]

Enjoying every minute of it

[@danmartinez9497]

I've been trying to tell my mates that I feel great after cycling in the heat. Here in Dubai they have constructed a 120km cycling track that goes through the desert. In the summer for the most part goes unused during the daylight hours. Dubai averages +36C - +45C during the summer.. I have been using Nunn electrolytes during training. Thanks for the info

[@zps272]

I needed this video more than I thought. Tons of useful info.

[@theneenscreen8887]

This is such a great video! Even 2 years later, awesome info!

[@vibekbhattacharjee5225]

Yeah I needed this too

[@jamieb2982]

Trying to figure out how my dehydration is effecting my Raynaud's which then eventually trips my vagus nerve- 100 mile run coming up in August. On the treadmill in the AC, I can stay in zone 2 (around 118-125BPM)for 2 hours at a 8min pace. Outside in the heat I'm at 140bpm in a half mile. 52y for reference... great vid!

[@robertcasturo5868]

Nice prints on the shelf!

[@thehoofersclub]

Having exposed skin in high heat increase your chance of dehydration because your perspiration evaporates quick. I'm 54 and hike in high heat conditions in the summer. In temp over 100 I'm covered up to trap in my perspiration.

[@bluetickbeagles116]

Just moved from Humboldt to San Diego. Going from temps that don’t reach over 65 to 80 degrees is awful. Here to get some tips.

[@mstang574]

Can you comment more on the luteinizing hormone effect on body temperature? I couldn't find much information on this besides for menstrual cycles. Does this hormone play a role in core body temperature in men as well?

[@josephschlau5611]

Excellent video presentation. Your explanations and recommendations are in line with a number of sources from the US military and their guidance on hydration and heat acclimation. Do you have a bio outlining your training and expertise.

[@sandmansimms5704]

So should I put ice in my camelback with water?

[@TheMovementSystem]

I would yea

[@theemailguy777]

Anthem henderson over here nice move my dude you are actually helping me more than ever i am 25 and have just started my journey into building my body up i am rather skinny like 146lbs 5” 9 you are the best guide and i came here clicking on just any video thank you

Bro... seriously useful info!!!!

[@proactiveperformanceacademy]

Do you have any tips for helping an athlete get acclimated to the demands of humid weather (Dallas) of a tournament while training in a non-humid environment (San Diego)?

[@TheMovementSystem]

A couple of factors there. You’ll want to maintain a hydrated status and spend some time in a humid environment to prepare if possible. A sauna could be a good option

[@TOROG13]

Working out in 110 degree weather in the garage is the best

[@Parzzyval]

💪 109 F and I’m cycling right now in the garage here in PHX

[@TOROG13]

@@Parzzyval I just did 3 hour routine abs,run, and burpees routine 1 hour each

[@mybuickskill6979]

Great info. Thanks for the video

[@zaakirah5343]

Can hot water immersion after exercise help exercise performance in heat? Could you please explain the physiology behind this? Highly appreciate your help.

[@Markhypnosis1]

I've done a lot of research on this, and sauna does appear to have some benefits with regards to improving cardiovascular health and sports performance. Hot water immersion may have similar benefits, as long as you get hot enough to sweat. The mechanisms will be the same as training in heat....blood plasma volume, keeping the veins supple which allows them to expand to allow more blood to flow through them.

[@michaelshankj9102]

Did u get tanned in the desert?😁

[@TheMovementSystem]

Swimming, biking, and running 12+ hours a week outside does that to you haha

[@Joe-wq4mo]

Would you say it takes longer to acclimatize to hot and humid environments than hot and dry environments?

[@TheMovementSystem]

I’m not sure actually

[@fix8ed387]

Great stuff, thanks!

[@TheMovementSystem]

You're welcome!

[@ryandeffley7652]

Recently did an upper body push/pull outside in 90 degree heat. Kept it basic with straight sets and 2-3 min rest between sets. Just did 16 total sets (3x weighted pullups, 3x standing OHP, 3x DB rows, 3x weighted dips, and 2x each of lateral raises and DB curls). Since I'm not heat adapted for summer yet, I was way more fatigued than I am used to.

[@kylealonso5201]

I started CrossFit in Texas about 3 months ago. I’ve gotten to migraines after the workouts due to me not being hydrated. I was drinking water but 20 oz wasn’t enough. How much water would you say I need to have in my body by a certain time if my workouts are in the late afternoon?

[@TheMovementSystem]

It’s probably a good idea to switch to something with electrolytes. A good range to shoot for is around 16-32oz/ hr

[@kylealonso5201]

Thanks!

[@aneudytorres3218]

Arround 60% of your weight. Drinking 32oz/ph could be good or bad depends if that is too much or not enough water to your body (weight). 60% of your body is perfect for those physically active people. The amount you get will be the OZ you should drink thought the day and after that you divide your oz through your day.

[@huntercat93]

Does sleeping in air conditioning prevent heat acclimatisation?

[@patrodgers7684]

I think you really have to train in the heat to get acclimated, but our air conditioned environments certainly don’t help.

[@Campy1]

Howdy! Would training in the heat have any carryover benefits for when you run in cooler weather? I'm thinking in a similar way training at elevation improves performance when you go down to sea level.

[@TheMovementSystem]

Good question. It's actually similar to training at altitude in that it doesn't allow you to train as hard or deliver as much oxygen and typically it's less effective than training without heat or without elevation. Living at high altitude would increase red blood cells via erythropoietin but typically endurance athletes who live at high altitude try to train at lower altitude.

[@peterlee8940]

You didnt explain crap. Need more talk about heat acclimatisation
