Post Workout: Recovery Enhancement Drink plenty of water within one hour of finishing your workout to prevent dehydration. A good rule of thumb is to to drink 1/2 cup - 1 cup of fluid for every 15 minutes of exercise. For intense workouts, drink 2 1/2 cups for every pound shed during the workout. Try to avoid sports drinks for moderate workouts; save them for the intense ones. Sports drinks are full of the simple sugars and artificial dyes that only extreme workouts may justify putting in your body.
Try to eat a snack within one hour of exercise. Eating yogurt or a banana are excellent choices. These items help to replenish many of the nutrients lost during heavy perspiration.

The Student Creed: Traditional Martial Arts
As traditional martial arts practitioners, we have each undertaken the development of our individual selves. On that quest we are blessed to have the Student Creed to serve as one of our guides. The Creed, when used properly, is not merely a set of words to memorize and reflect on. It is not a two dimensional philosophical statement. The Creed is a measuring tool that helps us to determine the distance we must travel on our journey. It aids our discernment of the necessary goals we must set and achieve on our selective journeys. The Student Creed offers us an opportunity to realize our true potential and informs us of the decisions we need to make to actualize it.
In the next three installments, we will examen each precept and discern together how to best utilize them for success in martial arts and in life.
