S'well water bottles Archives

It’s Fitness Tuesday here on Just Jodi Style and I wanted to talk about hydration. Now I know I have spoken about drinking lots of water while working out and post work out with my handy s’well water bottle, but there is more to it than just that. Now I am not a soda or even a gatorade drinker. On an average day I drink more than the necessary amount of water you should have and then some. I found out the hard way last week that you can be dehydrated even when you drink plenty of water. Last week I felt so out of whack and felt like I was having a vertigo spell, but what it really was me being dehydrated. I needed more electrolytes in my system and I honestly was surprised. I take good care of my body I eat 3 meals a day I have snacks in between and I take my daily vitamins and then some so how was I all of the sudden dehydrated? The simple answer is that sometimes everything that you have been doing catches up to you. I have been working out more than I have in my entire life and I need to change up my regiment according. Since last week I have started drinking Core water which honestly when I first heard about it I thought another water that is suppose to be better for you. After trying it myself I can say that it is truly better for you. It is full of electrolytes and doesn’t have all of the sugars that Gatorade has. I also have added more fiber into my diet such as almonds, lentils and even artichoke. These foods have helped me fuel up my body so to speak and I have felt better after all of my workouts since I have added this foods into my diet. If you are one of the many that are gearing up for swimsuit season so you are hitting the gym extra hard please be sure to keep yourself as hydrated as possible. Even when you think you have drank enough water or gatorade or anything drink more. Hope everyone has a great rest of their day!

It’s Fitness Tuesday here on Just Jodi Style and I wanted to share with you something that I can’t work out without. There are the obvious items you should always have when working out. You always need something to drink so you don’t get dehydrated, but we all know that gyms get to us by offering bottled water for a small fee when you enter incase you forgot it. I personally have a dozen S’Well water bottles thanks to their sample sale they had back in November. I don’t go anywhere without one because at every gym they always have a fountain with filtered water and if you are already spending so much money on going to a class the least you could do is bring your own reusable water bottle. They recently did a less expensive collection for Target, but honestly a S’well water bottle after at least a week’s worth of working out pays for itself. The other item that I can’t go to the gym without are my headphones. Even on my way to a workout class I always listen to music to get myself mentally prepared for what I am about to do. are a given you should always have something to drink when you are working out, but on top of that you should always have your music. When I first moved to New York my brother wouldn’t allow me to wear my solo Beats headphones out in public because at the time they were the item that was stolen the most everywhere. I also wanted headphones that were smaller and that I could talk on the phone with while I was walking once it got cold out. He told me to buy the Bose soundsport inner ear headphones. They come with two different size ear pieces and also a traveling case. I purchased the extended warranty on them from Best Buy and it was worth every single penny. I had a minor issue with them within the first year and they replaced them without a question. Then the next year my dog bit them and because I had a warranty they replaced them yet again! They are honestly the best headphones I have ever owned and recommend them to everyone I know. They now have the wireless Bose headphones which I am eager to try, but I think for now I will stick to the soundsport ones for now. These are also great gifts for Valentine’s day which is just around the corner :-). I hope everyone is having a great day especially with all of this rain we are having in New York City and staying dry. <3
