    Hello, I’ve only done 4 90 minute classes and was wondering if you can get “heat exhaustion” from doing these classes. I do sweat a lot, even in 80 degree weather, so just was seeking some advice on how to handle doing these classes because I do love it and see the benefits. My other problem is that I feel very tired the rest of the day…any advice? Thanks!

    Hey Michel,
    I’m sure others will have advice that’s more detailed, but I had the same problem when I started. My muscles, joints, everything felt good, but I often felt tired and headachey after class. It was probably a double-whammy: not enough hydration before class and the body needing to change. I cut back on caffeine and started drinking more H2o and elecrolyte solution before class. I also started eating better and stopped taking one of the daily meds I was on. Took me about two months to lose that feeling completely, but I always feel good after class now.

    I think the body just needs to adapt a little bit. 4 classes isn’t that many–give it a solid month of regular practice and I bet things will begin to change.

    Greetings…
    I experienced issues a few times when I first started- nausea, shakiness, dizziness, headaches…I had to take a break a few times, just to get myself under control.

    I believe it’s all about hydration, before, during, after class. DRINK!!!!
