Quick Hydration test!

runswimbike:

fitvillains:

With your thumb, push into the inside of your shinbone. Aim for the side of the bone, about halfway up the leg.

Hold & press for 5 seconds. Leave an indent? You’re dehydrated: you need more water. Especially if the indent lasts more than a few moments. No indent? You’re ok!

A good help especially in summer when you’re legs are bare anyway and you want to check quickly.

Do not understand
