Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent heat exhaustion while training in the tropics?

Prioritize electrolyte replenishment over plain water and monitor your heart rate closely, as humidity prevents sweat from evaporating, leading to faster core temperature spikes.

Is sand training better than gym training?

Sand training provides unstable surface resistance that engages stabilizer muscles and increases caloric burn, but it requires shorter, more intense bursts to avoid joint strain.
