Find out how to hit the training sweet spot for peak performance and safety in our blog. ⚡

Fall camp is right around the corner for our football athletes. Here are our tips for staying hydrated and recovering well:
1. Include electrolytes in your post-workout drink
2. Eat foods with high water content such as watermelon, strawberries, and grapefruit - hydration doesn’t have to only be in liquid form!
3. Treat sleep as if it’s part of your training program to help improve recovery and overall wellbeing
4. Consider incorporating cold water immersion (ice baths!) and/or contrast water therapy (going from hot to cold water in a 1:1 ratio) post workout

What’s your favorite way to hydrate or recover post workout?
