Tips!
Hydration = Fluidity: Hydrating properly is absolutely essential to keeping you fluid throughout your many athletic endeavors; from trail to road to water. Proper hydration also inspires greater comfort and enjoyment along the way. There can be gain without the pain after all! Dehydration of even 2-3% can slow you down, and dehydration and sodium loss are also the number one cause of cramping, so you’ll need to replace 16-24oz of fluid for every pound lost to help avoid this. Consuming consistent amounts of sodium every hour can help replace sodium losses in sweat. Simple investment - HUGE payoff! SHOT Electrolyte Drink has 200 mg of Sodium per serving and is a great way to stay on top of your hydration game.
Timing SHOT BLOKS Intake: SHOT BLOKS are best to consume15-30 minutes prior to activity, and then every 20-30 minutes during activity. Three (3) of those yummy BLOKS are considered one (1) serving, but it’s really up to you how many you eat. They’re conveniently portioned to provide personalized pop’ability! Electrolyte Chews help increase blood sugar levels and maintain even energy levels. Prolong performance - avoid the crash. Keep in mind that Bloks will affect your blood sugar levels more slowly than gel since they are semi-solid, so it’s best to follow up with a swig of water. BLOK on!
Stamp Out the Cramps! Margarita SHOT BLOKS are a quick and delicious way to cure those cramping woes. Sodium depletion via sweat is the primary reason for muscle cramping in athletes. That’s why we've added 3 times the amount of sodium to Margarita SHOT BLOKS; for athletes who have either higher than average sweat rates, or have higher than average concentrations of sodium in their sweat. Worry less about cramping; concentrate more on the task at hand, or foot.
Electrolytes 101: Electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, allowing for normal bodily function. When you sweat you start to deplete electrolytes - fast. Similar to dehydration, electrolyte depletion will first lead to performance declines and then – if not addressed - onto more serious health issues. Each CLIF SHOT® Energy Gel provides, on average, 50 mg of sodium, 65 mg of potassium, and 2%DV of magnesium to help counteract the losses in your sweat. Don’t just endure – ENJOY!
