Are you in tune with your thirst?
Most people are not, and many of my clients are not even drinking enough water just to sustain what they need in their daily life.
Because water makes up over 70% of our body, proper hydration affects everything from our metabolism, ability to digest food, think clearly and perform at our best. If you’re dehydrated by just 2%, that equates to a 20% reduction in performance! Imagine running 20% slower, or lifting 20% less than you normally can.
So you need to be sure you’re getting your hydration right, and getting into the habit of following a hydration schedule can make all the difference.
In this video, I discuss:
- an easy calculation based on your body weight to determine how much hydration you need on a daily basis, plus when you’re exercising and performing
- how to calculate what your sweat rate is
- knowing kind of sweater you are (heavy, light, salty)
- the importance of electrolytes, and my recommendation of products
- my tips for making water more appealing and easy to drink throughout the day
