Electrolytes: Keeping the Body Charged
You may hear your fellow gym-goers chatting about electrolytes. Read on to learn how these chemicals can complement your workout.
Scan the neon label of a sports-drink bottle, and you’re likely to see it boasting about its electrolytes. Behind that zippy term lies a list of elements you’ve probably heard of: sodium, chlorine, potassium, calcium, and magnesium are all among the most common electrolytes and the least common baby names. An electrolyte is simply any ion (that is, an electrically charged atom or molecule) that can allow electrical signals and water to travel through the many permeable cells in your body. Fortunately, our bodies typically maintain their electrolyte balance through normal dietary intake; table salt, for instance, is made up of sodium and chlorine ions.
Why, then, would electrolytes be important to athletes? With each liter of sweat, about 1.5 grams of electrolytes escape through the pores. This means that if you’re sweating copiously and drinking only water to compensate, you can effectively dilute your internal electrolytes. This can lead to such conditions as hyponatremia, wherein your body has a lower-than-normal concentration of sodium ions, which can produce symptoms including nausea, confusion, and muscle spasms. This can be a real risk for marathon runners and other endurance athletes. But for anyone working out for just an hour a day, nutritionists agree that you most likely don’t need to worry about electrolytes—staying hydrated, eating well, and staring at a photo of a big, shiny trophy is typically enough to give your body the power it needs.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? I’ve always had an interest in working out and having fun. I wanted to share that passion with people who would like to learn more about fitness and health, and how to do it safely and get results.
What do you love most about your job? The immediate gratification in seeing clients laughing, smiling and enjoying exercise, which is how it should be. There’s the competitive component, which keeps us all accountable, but it’s also got to be fun and enjoyable. I try not to make exercise work because if it becomes that, you’ll procrastinate or quit, and then you will never achieve your goals.
What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer? The best reaction I got from a client was when they shared with me that exercising with me literally saved their life. If I had not shared the importance of what being healthy really meant, they might not have lived much longer. Realistic hope.
