Hydration Hacks: How to Stay Refreshed During Summer Workouts

Staying hydrated is crucial for performance, recovery, and overall health—especially when summer heat ramps up sweat loss. But water alone isn’t always enough! Here’s your ultimate guide to smart hydration hacks for workouts in the heat.

‍

1. Drink Before You're Thirsty

• Sip 16-20 oz water 2-3 hours pre-workout + 8 oz 30 min before.

2. Electrolytes Matter

• For workouts >60 mins, add pinch of salt to water or try coconut water/sports drinks.

3. Hydrate During Exercise

• 7-10 oz every 15-20 mins (more if sweating heavily).

4. Replenish After

• Within 30 mins: 16-24 oz fluid + electrolytes (try watermelon or yogurt).

5. Smart Tricks

• Freeze half your water bottle overnight
• Add fruit for flavor
• Check urine color (pale = good)

Watch For: Dizziness, headache, cramps, or dark urine = drink more!

Stay hydrated, perform better! 💦😎
