Hydrating During the Winter Months

11/2/2018

Although the temperature is dropping and winter sports are now in-season, HYDRATION is still a vital component to you, the athlete, training.

As proactive as we are - staying adequately hydrated during the summer, we oftentimes lose sight of hydrating during the winter.

Instead of relying on how sweaty you may physically feel, it is best to check for measures of hydration status. Follow these tips to help you maintain good hydration:

1. Check the color of your urine. Your urine should be pale yellow to clear. If it appears dark in color, that is an indicator of dehydration and to consume more fluids.

2. Thirst. If you are thirsty, you are already 2% dehydrated!

3. Weigh yourself before training and then immediately after - the weight lost during your workout is water. It is recommended to drink 2 cups of water for every 1 pound lost to replenish.

4. Drink 1/2 cups to 2 cups of water every 20-30min and consider use of a sports drink when training over 60min, at a moderate to high intensity.

I hope this helps and feel free to reach out regarding adequate hydration!
