Perfect Hydration for Athletes

Did you know even a 2% body weight loss during exercise can mean dehydration and decreased performance? Perfect hydration is within reach!

This engaging course will teach you everything you need to know about hydration for improved fitness and performance. No more feeling crappy when you exercise!

It will help you feel better and perform better. It's for anyone who exercises, from the casual gym-goer to the hard-core athlete.

It answers all your burning hydration questions:

• When should I use a sports drink vs. water?
• When do I use salt or electrolytes?
• What product should I choose?
• How do I avoid muscle cramps?
• Why do I keep getting runner's trots?
• Is caffeine dehydrating?

You'll also learn:

• What is dehydration and over-hydration, and how to avoid it
• How much, what, and when to drink
• How to hydrate in special situations, like high altitude or humidity
• How and why to use urine specific gravity (USG) strips
• How to formulate YOUR perfect hydration plan!

With so much nutrition advice, and hundreds of sports nutrition products out there, it's confusing to know how to hydrate.

But why do I need this course? I could just look all this stuff up online!

Oh, really? How many hours would you spend doing this? What would you do if you found conflicting information? Whom would you believe? How would you know that what you are reading is legitimate and science-backed? Would you come away with a clear action plan? Would you have a specific personalized hydration plan JUST FOR YOU? Would you get a one-stop-shop for all things hydration all on one website, delivered to you seamlessly? (We didn't think so!)

How much money have you spend on gym memberships, exercise clothes, workout gear, coaches, trainers, race entry fees...but neglected your nutrition and hydration? Hydration is a key component to training and fitness gains. Dialing in to perfect hydration helps you achieve your goals.
