Electrolytes are vital minerals that help regulate hydration, muscle contractions, and nerve function, making them a cornerstone of fitness and overall health.

In this episode of “Random Fit,” hosts, and NASM Master Instructors, Wendy Batts, and Ken Miller, sit down with featured guest, registered dietitian, Kat Barefield, to break down how electrolytes impact your workouts and recovery.

We’ll discuss the signs of imbalances, when sports drinks are helpful versus overhyped, and practical tips for staying properly fueled.

Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or a seasoned athlete, this conversation will help you maximize performance and avoid common hydration pitfalls.
