When I was in the Navy, I would do my exercises in the un-air-conditioned starboard helo hanger of my ship, the USS Jack Williams (FFG-24). This included such times as when we were deployed to the Red Sea in summer. Air temps ran about 110 degrees Fahrenheit and we went weeks without seeing a cloud, so you can imagine what air temps were inside the aluminum box of the helo hanger.
During these exercises, I didn't bring any water with me. I'd hit the drinking fountain for a gulp or two before and after the workout, and then carry on with my day. I didn't notice any ill effects. I got out of the Navy in 1993, the year of my 27th birthday.
On Monday of this week, I attended a workout class at my gym. About halfway through, I got some serious muscle cramps and had to stop the workout and go home. When I got home, the cramps mysteriously ended about halfway into my first glass of water.
Moral of the story - 45-year-olds need to drink some fraking water, idiot before and during workouts!
