BEWARE.... You must drink your water....
So, I went to my first Tango class last night. It was a relatively easy class, I only broke out in a light sweat. In the other classes I've taken I'm drenched when its over and I'm downing water nonstop during and after class.
Well I learned the hard way you need to get your water in no matter the level of your work out. In the wee hours of the morning I awoke with such pain I thought I was going to die. I had charlie horse type cramps in both feet, shins and calves. Now, I've been taking dance classes in Salsa, Swing and Cuban Rueda (really hefty dancing) for almost a year now, so I couldn't figure out why I was in pain.
The pain was so bad I was yelling out as if I were having a baby. Any slight move would increase the pain... I'm talking severe pain. Finally, my daughter called the paramedics. My toes were curling, my feet were arching, my calves and shins throbbing, I just wanted to cut my legs off it hurt so bad.
Turns out, I was dehydrated. Never mind I drank a soda (
...yeah I know!) before bed. I was still dehydrated. After gulping down 64 oz of water, my legs returned to normal.
DRINK YOUR WATER!!!
