need advice – first back to back class

i left my mat and room went out and went to the washroom refill water ect… i do not change or move my mat. I do have an energy drink between classes though to keep me going. i have a full glass of coconut milk and a scoop of whey protein powder.

Whenever I do a double back to back, I hydrate ALOT before. When I’m done my first class I’ll have a coconut water (natural sports drink with so much more potassium) and an orange. I’ll go to the bathroom and do the class with the same outfit. Depending on my mood I’ll change my mat. If I feel that I won’t be performing very well I’ll put myself out of sigh for the new students.

Love doubles. I find it much harder to do a back to back double than one spaced out.

Enjoy!

Have often wanted to try a double, but found it difficult enough to recover after a single. I perspire easily, and a lot. I hear about all the toxins that are being released in the sweat, but I lose a lot of salt and other electrolytes too. I find that the coconut milk is not enough. I have switched to using a 32 oz bottle of Gatorade (G2) in class instead of water. I also drink an 8 oz glass of V8-low-sodium before class, and at least one 8 oz glass after class. I know the “low-sodium” sounds strange, but they get rid of some of the sodium and load up with 820 mg of potassium in 8 oz of juice. Combined with the G2, it seems to do the trick. I recover much quicker after class and feel I might be ready to do a double.
