So how do you maintain optimal hydration during workout sessions? Below I have listed the top strategies to maintain optimal hydration, thus, improving your health fitness and performance.
1. Make sure you are sufficiently hydrated with Vitalyte prior to beginning your fitness workout. A real good rule of thumb is to observe the color of your urine. If your urine is dark like apple juice, you are not adequately hydrated. Very white, like water, is a sign of over hydration. However, if your urine is pale, not dark, you are most likely in water balance.
2. During exercise, pay close attention to the amount of fluid you lose. It is important to replace lost fluids during the fitness training session. Yes, you can wait until after exercise, but your health fitness and performance will thank you if you consume fluids while training.
3. Don't wait until you get thirsty. I recommend consuming a small amount of fluids prior to, during, and following intense physical activity. Your body-weight should be close to the same before, during, and after workouts.
4. The higher the exercise workout intensity, and duration, the more fluids are required for hydration. Pay close attention to your perspiration rate, and the certain weather conditions that promote greater perspiration.
