Yo, what’s up Cheer Peeps!
Summer’s blazing, and that means our practices are going to be hot on the football field and track. But listen up, staying hydrated isn’t just smart – it’s crucial. You don’t want to end up passing out or puking in front of the squar (or your football crush) out there. So, here are some killer tips to keep you hydrated and in top form while you’re busting out the stunts & routines.
Start chugging water before you even think about hitting the field. Like, make water your best bud. Aim for at least 8 glasses a day to get your hydration game strong before practice.
Bring a huge, insulated water bottle to practice. Not one of those wimpy little bottles – go big. Fill it up and sip constantly. Keep that H2O flowing, my friends.
Water’s awesome, but sometimes you need a little extra kick. Grab some sports drinks with electrolytes to keep your salts and minerals in check. Just steer clear of the sugary stuff.
Snack on fruits like watermelon, oranges, and strawberries. These bad boys are loaded with water and make for a refreshing break snack. Plus, they taste rad.
Wear light, breathable gear. Leave the heavy stuff at home. Moisture-wicking clothes are a game-changer and will keep you cooler.
Yeah, it sounds weird, but your pee color tells you a lot. Clear or light yellow means you’re golden. Dark yellow? Time to drink up, dude.
Get your drink on before and after practice. Pre-hydration gears you up, and post-hydration helps you recover. It’s a win-win.
Staying hydrated is the key to crushing it on the field and keeping your energy up. Follow these tips, stay cool, and have an awesome summer!
