Thinking Work Out, Think Hydration!

Good hydration means getting the right amount of water before, during and after working out.
Staying hydrated helps prevent a decline in performance, strength, power, aerobic and anaerobic capability during workouts.

Water regulates your body’s temperature and lubricates your joints. It helps transport nutrients to give you energy and keep you healthy.
