If you're like employee Tim Clendaniel, PT, DPT and are prone to cramping 1. Err on the higher side of sodium intake 2. If you swell up during exercise 3. If you generally drink a lot of water --> See Dr. Alex Harrison's video for more specific recommendations https://lnkd.in/gQsCjXyj The maximum tolerance of MOST (not all) athletes of sodium during exercise without GI distress is: ~1200-1500mg of sodium per liter of fluid consumed 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐭𝐢𝐩!: Buy sodium citrate in bulk and use it as your sodium source. It's cheap, tastes better than table salt during exercise, and you get more sodium per weight than sodium chloride. #ExercisePerformance #SodiumIntake #FitnessTips #SportsNutrition #PreventCramping

You ever feel like you've been lied to? For years, we’ve been taught the dogma of 60-90 grams of carbs per hour is the hard limit for endurance athletes. But new research suggests that consuming 120 grams per hour could be beneficial for performance. And if you know Dr. Alex Harrison or Michelle Howe, then you know they can go significantly beyond 120g of carbs per hour while cycling What is the motive for setting up a study that shows carbs/gels/chew are equally beneficial for fueling performance, at such a high carb level? All you have to do is follow the money! If you want to sell lots of your gels that get you to this new level of carb intake, then sponsoring a study to show those results is a great way to achieve that! If you’re an athlete looking to optimize their performance, and hear what Dr. Alex Harrison has to say about this research, check out our “120 Is The New 90” video on our Youtube! https://lnkd.in/gSX8jTSV ⇩ Or ⇩ You can safely experiment with more carbs with Saturday®, as we’ll make sure everything else in your bottle is balanced just right to accommodate the increase. Just go to your Max Carb setting and try boosting it 10-20g and Saturday will handle the rest. 😁

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Anyone going for a ride/run/swim/or other? Let us know what your activity of choice is! 👟 🚵♂️ 🏊♂️
