    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. 🥤

    Not all fats are created equal 👏🏼 Fueling your bo Not all fats are created equal 👏🏼

Fueling your body with the right kinds of fat is essential for energy, recovery, hormone health, brain function, and keeping you full throughout the day. 🥑🐟🌰

The goal isn’t to fear fat — it’s to choose more healthy fats and less saturated fat commonly found in fried foods, baked goods, and fast food. Instead, focus on adding foods like:
• Nuts & nut butters 
• Seeds 
• Avocado 
• Salmon & other fatty fish 

Small swaps can make a big impact on performance and overall health. 💪🏼
