Excellent Product With Great Results
First thing is first, for full disclosure sake, I am an employee of Beachbody.  That, in addition to my extensive marital arts training and fitness lifestyle, makes me hyper critical of all workout and performance supplements.  Aside from my sensitivity to caffeine, I generally dismiss a product if it does not have a direct usefulness in the many martial arts practices and competitions (Wrestling, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Pankration, MMA) I take part in.<br /><br />I've tried Gatorade, PowerAde, Body Shield, Vitamin Water and a slew of other &#34;Sports Drinks&#34; designed to help rehydrate a body after an intense workout, but I generally have the exact same experience each time.  I step onto the mat for my match, fight furiously (I promise that no workout is as intense as 1 on 1 combat) and come off the mat with muscles that are generally blown out and cramped from intense exertion.  This wouldn't be a problem if I had loads of time between each match, but I don't and having a constant and flowing use of all my muscles is incredibly important.<br /><br />Beachbody's Performance line has lots of interesting supplements in it but Hydrate is the one for me and the one product whose effects I notice immediately. Most rehydration liquids do nothing for the cramping that I experience right after trying to choke someone to sleep or rip a limb off, but Hydrate is something special.  You don't need to drink a ton in my experience, as a little seems to go a long way.  A double serving gets me through a solid 2 hour Jiu Jitsu training situation, and I can't rave about it quite enough during my tournament settings.  So far it is the only hydration liquid I have ever noticed to severely cut down or eliminate cramping due to intense exercise, and has generally kept me in the stronger in the game for longer.  It is a product I have no desire to train or compete with out.
