Ultimate Direction Constant hydration keeps keeps a person in the peak
operational zone and reduces the involuntary wear and tear of exercise
under stress. As a result they race, train, and recover faster and are
more comfortable.
The body loses 64-96 oz. of water per hour during high intensity

stay hydrated, athletes should use Ultimate Direction activity-specific
hydration products to drink at least 8 ounces of water every 15-20 minutes.
