Do you suffer from leg cramps?

In my last blog a few weeks ago, I talked about the importance of staying hydrated, especially during the summer heat and after your workouts! 

‍

Drinking half your body weight in ounces of water is a great rule of thumb, but I wanted to take it a step further and explain WHY it’s so important and how sometimes plain water isn’t enough. Have you ever competed in a race, went for a long hike, or just went to bed at night and ended up with a horrible leg cramp? I know I have, and it is freaking awful! Leg cramps aka charley horses are actually why we created Charley (our magnesium sport gel/spray) in the first place because we were sick of cramping up during events!... more on this later! 

‍

When we sweat we lose nutrients, aka electrolytes, such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. These minerals are essential and when we don’t have enough of them in our system, this leads to cramping. Especially when we are exercising in the heat, we are really making ourselves prone to cramping. Exercise aside, if you are going about your day and only drinking coffee, sodas, and alcohol, your body is severely lacking in electrolytes and needs some replenishing! 

‍

Check out my FAV electrolytes, Ultima! I drink a tall 16oz glass of water with one scoop of this every morning to get my day started. If I have a tough workout or I’ve been outside sweating, I will have a scoop in the afternoon. A fun evening with a couple drinks? 1 scoop before bed and I wake up feeling 10x better than if I didn’t have them (usually only 8oz of water here since it’s right before bed). Seriously this will be life-changing for you! It is still important to be drinking water throughout the day as well, so make sure you still aim to drink at least half your body weight in ounces! 

‍

A few years ago, I was competing in a lot of Spartan races (obstacle course races ranging from 3 miles - 30 miles). Every single race, at some point I would cramp and it would be debilitating. I started bringing Charley with me out on the course and OMG let me tell you, it was my saviour! I would even rub Charley on fellow competitors that would be stranded on the sidelines cramping up, completely unable to even move. It saved all of our races. 

‍

So what’s so special about Charley? 

‍

Charley is your on-the-go, topical source of magnesium! It is also made up of therapeutic grade essential oils and plant botanicals, so it is an all-natural, pain reliever PLUS tackles your leg cramps immediately. Talk about a win-win! 

‍

Charley has saved so many of my races and now we are helping our customer’s race experiences too! 

‍

Here’s what some of our customers are saying: 

‍

“I really recommend Charley, It helped me today at the Mountains 2 Beach marathon. I was probably 15 miles in and was feeling a little sore. I put it on, and was good for the rest of the race. My hips felt great. Thank you!” 

‍

“During my last two marathons my feet were killing me. I put Charley on my feet this morning before this race and they were great! No pain!” 

‍

“I bought the Charley gel yesterday. I put it on this morning and it worked! I’ve always had issues with my hamstrings and cramping. Everything worked perfect today during my race! I am a great believer in the product. Thank you!”
