Stay active all winter, with Hydrate
Stay active all winter, with Hydrate
It’s easy to complete that daily run when the sun is shining and a breeze is blowing. And of course, you drink down a TruLabs Hydrate along the way. But what happens to your exercise routine when it’s cloudy, snowing, or just too cold?
Certainly, there are times when it’s best to listen to the weather forecast and stay inside, but if you bundle up and prepare properly, you can keep up with your outdoor activities. Just don’t forget that even when the temperature drops, you still need to plan for proper hydration.
When exercising in colder weather, you can miss the usual cues that you need to stop and drink fluids to avoid dehydration. So shake up and bring along a bottle of great-tasting TruLabs Hydrate for electrolyte support.
Hydrate’s five key electrolytes are sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. In all, Hydrate provides 19 vitamins and minerals to help you keep going, and it has no dairy, fillers, gluten, GMOs, or soy.
Snowy situations
If you live in the North, a cold, snowy winter brings on opportunities to try new sports, like skiing, snowshoeing, or ice skating. Even sledding with the kids becomes a workout when you are dragging the toboggan back up the hill. Not to mention shoveling snow.
Exercising in winter weather still requires supporting proper hydration. When the air is cold, you may not feel thirsty, but you are still losing fluids. When you dress in layers you trap moisture, so it’s possible to overheat. On the other hand, if you have outdoor gear made to whisk moisture away from your skin, you’ll feel warm but not sweaty. However, you could still be losing fluids.
Plus, winter air is dry, and when you inhale cold air, your body warms and moistens it as it goes through your nose and mouth into your lungs. That means you need to replace the fluids that your body uses to rehydrate this air. Keep in mind, the longer you're outside, the more important it is to replenish water and electrolytes to support proper hydration.
Pack the Hydrate
When you want hydration and electrolyte support, seek out a Hydrate in Glacier, Perfect Orange, Lemon Lime, or Watermelon. Hydrate has five immune boosters for stress and recovery support.
We also have three new, sugar-free varieties, in Glacier, Strawberry Lemonade, and Peach Mango Hydrate. These are made with monk fruit extract and sugarcane Reb M. These new Hydrates give you 1,422 mg of electrolytes and 19 vitamins and minerals, including six B vitamins, at only 5 calories per serving.
Go with a group
Joining an exercise group is another way to stay on track. If you form a fitness tribe that loves to cross-country ski, for instance, you’ll make more of an effort to show up for them. Knowing that a workout buddy is counting on you, inside or outside, will encourage you to live up to your wellness commitment.
Plus, exercising with a group provides important social interactions to support mental and emotional health, helping you to avoid seasonal depression and isolation.
Keep moving, indoors or out
The weather can surprise you, so it’s always good to have a plan B, so that you don’t fall short of your daily fitness goals. That could involve a few dumbbells, stretch bands, and an exercise video at home, or a trip to the gym for a class or a weight-lifting session.
Hydrate is here to help support all your wellness efforts with two new specialized formulas:
- Hydrate + Detox, in an incredible Tropical Punch flavor, provides 2,133 mg of electrolytes for hydration and DHM for detox support — all in a single drink.
- Hydrate + Organic Greens, in a fresh, tangy Green Apple flavor, has our beloved Hydrate base formula plus four organic greens.
