RE: Be careful in the heat and avoid overtaining (rhabdomyolysis)

in #fitness • 6 years ago

Thanks for this informative post, which I really enjoyed reading and learing from it since I love exercising and a week ago we just have moved to Central America where it is very, very hot and humid right now too, and this is the first time I hear about the Rhabdomyolysis.

    You have to be careful. If you exercise in the heat it is better to do the minimum amount to just maintain your fitness unless you are in a cool dry environment. If you are in the heat then:

    • You could suffer from heat exhaustion which will make you light headed, give you muscle cramps, and fatigue. This isn't heat stroke but it can lead to that.
    • You could suffer from heat stroke which is much much worse and life threatening. This is what happens when your body cannot cool down. This may have been what Bruce Lee died from in fact.

    And rhabdomyolysis is a result of doing new intense exercises that you are not used to while also in environments you're not used to. For example if it's hot, humid, etc and you decide to do more squats and also do cardio too? Well this is what they call cross fit and in normal circumstances the body might be able to recover but when dehydrated this recovery process is greatly compromised which can lead to problems.

    If you can't sweat (due to humidity) you can over heat very easily.
