Optimal Hydration
While working out at the gym, it is important that your body gets proper hydration. To make sure you are giving your body the proper liquids it needs, start drinking water during the first 30 minutes of your workout. For the remainder of your workout, you should transition from water to a beverage that contains electrolytes and sodium in order to fully replenish your hydration. My beverage of choice is Gatorade because it not only tastes good but it will also help replenish what your body loses during your workout. Gatorade will also help keep your energy levels higher throughout the workout.
