If you're an endurance athlete like a marathon runner perspiration is your constant companion when training. Even if you're a casual exerciser you're going to sweat.

This is a good thing. Staying hydrated is crucial for casual exercisers and elite athletes. Perspiration is just as vital as it cools your body, and flushes toxins from your system. Products that keep you properly hydrated not only prevent overheating, they improve performance and replace electrolytes.

Gu2O Electrotyte Replacement Drink

Raspberry, Orange, Lemon Lime, Tango Mango, with flavors like these you'll find your favorite delicious drink. Best of all, these beverages are good for you. High tech hydration is just a tiny packet away. This is your solution for staying hydrated and inhances your athletic performance by increasing blood flow and cooling your body. Easy open packs mix with water even on the go. Gu2O drink varieties are available at most retailers for fine sports and fitness products.

Nike Dri-Fit Apparel
 
There are annoying side effects to the healthy exercise we indulge in.  Annoying wetness as we exercise, work out clothes that chafe when wet, and smelly clothes afterwards. Nike's Dri-Fit Workout Wear solves the wetness issue.  Dri-Fit fabric is designed to wick moisture away from your body and keep you dryer and more comfortable. Available in many styles for men, women, boys, and girls at Nike.com and many athletic sportswear retailers.

Smartwool Socks

The worst part of working out is wet socks and losing traction. Smartwool socks wick away moisture, don't slip around, and provide comfort.  No matter which brand of athletic footwear you're partial to these socks will enhance your comfort and performance. Available at many athletic clothing and shoe retailers.

Dr. Scholl's Odor Destroyers Shoe Shot Deodorant Powder

This stuff really works. My son inherited my father's foot odor issues. His socks and shoes could repel vampires.  We tried a lot of foot odor products to little or no avail. I was considering cloths pins for our noses when we gave Dr. Scholl's Odor Destroyers Shoe Shot Deodorant Powder a try. Problem solved. If you have foot odor issues and you need help extending the life of your expensive athletic footwear this is a must have. Available at most retail stores.

WIN High Performance Sport Detergent

When you need to wash sweaty clothes there are a few products that do a decent job. But one product I've tried stands out - WIN High Performance Sport Detergent. I love this product. Not only does it get my family's athletic wear clean, they come out looking and smelling like-new.  WIN's detergent power is from organic chemicals that change the properties of water and make it more efficient at removing oil, grease, and dirt. A powerful oxidizer in WIN also kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi. And WIN's optical brighteners are designed to enhance your clothing colors including whites. This product is a must-have for casual exercisers, weekend warriors, fitness buffs, and elite athletes. WIN is an officially licensed product of the US Olympic Team and available at most stores.
