As the new year has arrived, many of us take this time to reflect on the past year and set new goals and resolutions for the coming year. One of the most common resolutions is to live a healthier lifestyle, and hydration is a critical component of this. Drinking enough water and replenishing electrolytes are essential for good health, especially...

It’s important for football players to hydrate efficiently for games and training. Our electrolyte replacement mix's low sugar content provides sustainable energy for optimal performance, and it contains no additives or caffeine, as those dehydrate you and can cause loss of valuable electrolytes.

Did you know not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration that you may not even notice? This is where Vitalyte comes in - it results in faster hydration and gets absorbed within two minutes, faster than any other electrolyte replacement drink on the market

There are a few things I absolutely love in life and I thought I should share them with you.  Some are definitely running related.  Some, you might argue, are not.  But to me they all play an important role in my life.  Running is an important piece that makes a beautiful life for me.  So here are a few things...

I’ve given a lot of attention to running in the past blogs.  The reason for it is simple: 1) I love any excuse to get outside, listen to music and be alone with my thoughts; and 2) It gives me a high that’s comparable to eating a box of caramel turtle chocolates (minus the calories).  But running isn’t for everyone. ...

You’ve done it. You are committed. Your race entry has been confirmed. You have your new pair of running shoes and you’re ready to sport your entire lululemon ensemble on the running trail. But what you really need to know is where do you begin when you are a beginner runner and you are training for your first 5K. Well,...

Your alarm rudely awakens you at 5:30 a.m. with the audacious blare of Adele’s “Rollin’ in the Deep” that your twelve year old downloaded for you while you were busy cooking dinner, helping your fourth grader diagram sentences, and taking two phone calls from your hysterical mother who can’t find her Shih Tzu for the fifth time today.   You are...

You open your pantry door and the contents resemble aisles 18 and 19 of your local supermarket. You know those aisles. The aisles of temptation. The ones that house chips of all varieties: Doritos, both ranch and original, Sour Cream Pringles, Wavy Lays, and of course your old go-to, Cheetos.   The aisles that have helped you ride the waves of...

It seems that the sports drink in your local supermarket or convenience store are virtually endless. With so many colors, flavors, bottle sizes, and advertised functions, how does one choose the right drink? We say go with the best and here’s how you figure out which one of those drinks is the best. Imagine that you are standing in front...

There’s a new Vita Girl in town! For my first guest post for Vitalyte, I thought I’d make a confession: even though I know how good I’ll feel after my run, it is still a daily struggle to lace up. Lately, the excuse that has been popping into my brain before I get ready for my usual four-mile run is...

As a blogger for Vitalyte, I have to level with you. I am not a huge endurance sports person anymore. Although I used to be. When I was a kid, I was a gymnast for nearly 10 years. I went to practice four times a week for four hours, and during competition season, I was competing in meets almost every...

I grew up in Seattle so it’s safe to say, I know a lot about water. It’s everywhere up there. There are two lakes surrounding the city, a vast Sound that it’s nestled in, and plenty of rivers and streams to keep all the fishermen in the Pacific Northwest happy. And the rain. Oh the rain. It seems to remind...

OK, Vita Girl, I’ve got the shoes, I know the yoga poses, now how do I make working out fun? Many of us feel about exercise the way we felt about eating Brussels sprouts as a kid — an unsavory thing we have to do to get something we want. Back then, that something was probably dessert or pleasing our...

Hello again Vitalyte friends! There are some great reasons why we should all partake in a little yoga in our lives, especially you athletes out there. Let's dive in and discuss the first of a few great poses you should be doing in yoga right now to help make yourself ready to workout. Also, it’s important to stay hydrated during...

I got introduced to Vitalyte a few years ago when I first started designing a website for them. I was lucky enough to bring home a box of free products when I started working with them and I must admit I have not had a traditional hangover since. Now I've really gone out and killed some brain cells a few...

You love to cycle and find yourself spending more hours on two wheels than on four. At Vitalyte we are big fans of cycling too! Whether you prefer to go off-road for adventure, ride a century with friends, or slow it down for a leisurely ride along the Irish coast, cycling has something to offer almost everyone. When we created...

Let’s face it we all become irritable and have those days where our alter ego roars and is suddenly a combination of an angry grizzly bear and a CPA during tax season. Yes, you’re cranky and feeling over-worked all at the same time. However, if “those” days start to become the norm rather than the occasional, it’s time to look...

The thought of going for your usual five-mile run just doesn’t generate the same excitement it used to for you. Your Monday run group friends keep texting asking why they haven’t seen you in three weeks. And you noticed you haven’t put any 10k races on your calendar for the upcoming few months. Is it possible you are becoming “burned...
