Hydration and HIIT

What Is HIIT?

HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is popular style of studio fitness class that alternates short bursts of intense exercise with periods of rest to maximize burning calories and building muscle. Studios like Orange Theory Fitness use heartrate monitors to track and measure the exact intensity of their workouts for participants, while other HIIT Classes use timed intervals to determine the progression of a HIIT workout. If you’re taking a HIIT class at a studio (or just doing a HIIT workout at home) it’s crucial that you support your workout with the proper hydration.

 

The Importance of Electrolytes

HIIT fitness is notorious for being a “sweat intensive” form of fitness, and when you sweat your body loses electrolytes. Electrolytes are tiny particles that carry electrical charges and help your body maintain proper functions. When you sweat your body loses both fluid and electrolytes. If you don’t begin your workout properly hydrated, or you aren’t hydrated properly during your activity, dehydration can easily occur through the act of sweating.

Recognizing Dehydration

Dehydration has several negative impacts on athletic performance, and perhaps you’ve even experienced extreme consequences such as muscle cramps and fatigue. But even if you don’t feel a difference, as little as 2% dehydration can result in a decrease in performance. Remember thirst is the #1 indicator that you may be dehydrated.

Hydrating with Complete Electrolytes

Replenishing electrolytes via sports drink helps to replenish your mineral losses; but electrolytes also help make the most of your water, which is the key to proper hydration. Sports drinks like Nuun Sport that are high in sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium can help retain fluids, and proper fluid balance contributes to optimal performance.
