Re: Pilates anyone?

guest — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:03:30 GMT

Pilates used to exhaust me and zap me of all my energy, but I began to take better care of my body because of it so I will have to agree with you. I felt awkward showing up to class in yoga pants with a fat ***, so I started to eat better and healthier foods and replaced my soda with Vita Coco. It's helped a ton.

I also had problems with incorporating strength training into my tri-athalon workouts, but now I lift weights and try to eat more nutritious meals. I eat alot of red meat and make protein shakes with vita coco in it for potassium and electrolytes.

It sounds like you need to use your hips more. I also don't have very powerful legs but found if I thrust with my hips then the kick usually follows. I also tend to drink vita coco while I swim and that gives me all the energy I need.

Re: what to eat before a run?

I ususally just drink Vita Coco or put it in a smoothie or shake. It fills you up and gives you all the electrolytes and nutrients you need for the run.

I tend to do a lot of cycling and swimming, but I found the best way was to generally take care of your body. Once winter hits your body is sucked of all its nutrients and you just feel like hell. I drink Vita Coco to regain them and for rehydration purposes. It also tastes good, and has electrolytes and more potassium in one serving than in an entire banana. I truly recommend that and as much biking in the off season as you can.

Re: Opinion on MTB

I love mtb but it was almost the death of me. I wasn't treating my body well enough to the right amount of electrolytes and nutrients, but thankfully I found a drink I loved and that replenished everything. Vita Coco not only has 1/3 more electrolytes and nutrients than Gatorade, but has more potassium than a banana. I used to get too exhausted to ride as much as I wanted to, but now that I've found a better rehydration solution biking has become much more enjoyable.

I would make them drink Vita Coco to rehydrate instead of Gatorade, it has 1/3 more electrolytes and tastes better as well. It's also a miracle cure for hangovers.

Re: Anyone interested in weight loss?

I drink Vita Coco when I'm working out because it has alot less calories than regular sports drinks (only 60 calories a serving) and rehydrates and tastes better as well. I also replace dessert with it because it tastes so damn good. I highly recommend coconut water, specifically Vita Coco.

Re: Brand-spanking new Roadie. What am I in for?

Biking is a hell of a lot of time and energy but so worth it in the end. There's nothing like the feel of the open road, but there's also nothing like the cramps and wanting to pass out in a weedy ditch by some sort of woe-begone forgotten highway. I found out the hard way that rehydrating properly is the key to success. I've tried alot of sports drinks, but I found that coconut water and specifically Vita Coco works the best. I rather enjoy the taste, and the nutrients and electrolytes give me the extra push I desperately need.

To be in the proper shape you need to train well and rehydrate properly. That's why I suggest Vita Coco instead of Gatorade or water. It also tastes a hell of a lot better. It also has more potassium than a banana!
