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.
