What is an "industrial athlete"?
You are most likely if you've landed on this page! An industrial athlete is anyone with a physically demanding job. I like the term because I think it puts both me and my clients in a helpful mindset. Factory workers frequently burn more calories and put out more physical force during their shift than a professional athlete will during a practice or game so it makes sense to take care of your body the same way they do!
​
Breathe - in through your nose as much as possible, out through your nose or mouth, full force exhale can help when you're working hard; try to pace your breathing with your activity, fast shallow breaths make you get tired faster
​
Stay hydrated - there's no magic number of ounces, how much you need depends on what you're doing as well as the air temperature and humidity level; to know if you're hydrated pay attention to the color of your urine - colorless means you're overhydrated but anything more vibrant than pale yellow means you need to get some water in your system

Food is fuel - your body needs more than just calories to work properly, vitamins and minerals are necessary to absorb the energy from food and build or repair your moving parts; most supplements are a waste of money, you're better off eating fresh fruits and veggies and other minimally processed foods
