    As temperatures start heating up this summer, post As temperatures start heating up this summer, post-workout hydration matters more than ever. ☀️💧

Sweating during training means you’re losing both fluid and electrolytes — and recovery doesn’t stop when practice ends.

A good goal after workouts:
➡️ Drink 16–24 ounces of fluid for every pound lost during exercise.

Rehydrating properly can help support:
⚡ Recovery
💪 Performance
🧠 Focus
🏃 Endurance
🔥 Heat safety

Pair your fluids with a balanced recovery snack or meal containing carbohydrates and protein to help your body fully recover and refuel.

Hydration is part of the training plan — especially in the summer heat. 🥤
