Hydration Tips
- A blog post from Beth Gross- ACSM certified Health Fitness Director and have an MS in Human Performance (Exercise Physiology and Biomechanics)

- Stay hydrated throughout the day (e.g., water, coconut water, juice, milk, sport drinks)
- Drink regularly during exercise and warm ups. Post-workout, sip on cool water (or beverage of choice) – drinking too fast can upset the stomach when overheated.
- Eat plenty of carbohydrates; the body uses them faster in the heat and they help to store more water. After training eat a fast, natural carbohydrate to restore glycogen – such as watermelon or blueberries
- Get plenty of sleep. Inadequate rest makes our bodies less tolerant of the heat
- On a slightly gross note – urine should be fairly light-colored or almost clear. However, athletes who are in the bathroom every 45 minutes (or less) may be drinking too much. Consider drinking coconut water, a sports drink, or even adding a pinch of salt to a glass of water on extremely hot and humid days to restore electrolyte balance.
- Stay hydrated throughout the day (e.g., water, coconut water, juice, milk, sport drinks)
