| 0:06.5 | And I'm Juliette. |
| 0:08.0 | And you're listening to the Ready State Podcast. |
| 0:14.4 | This episode of the Ready State podcast is brought to you by our friends at Element. |
| 0:21.3 | I want to challenge you if you're feeling like you need a 4 p.m. bump. Like a caffeine bump at 4 p.m. Or what about... Or what about, in my case, a 4 p.m. entire bag of popcorn? Yeah, that would be it. What I would suggest is you're thirsty and probably could do a little salt. if you're rolling into your workout |
| 0:39.1 | and you're like, |
| 0:39.8 | I don't know if I feel motivated, |
| 0:41.3 | blah. is you're thirsty and probably could do a little salt. If you're rolling into your workout and you're |
| 0:39.6 | like, I don't know if I feel motivated, but hit some element and watch what happens. Have you ever |
| 0:45.5 | seen a plant thirsty? And then you water the planet. It comes back to life in like a day. That's what |

But I've really found that if I just have some element at that time, what my body really needed was some water and some salt might feel way better. If you are doing this in the morning, try a little bit of a half serving of hot element. |
| 1:13.1 | Controversial. |
| 1:13.7 | Controversial. Controversial. No, it's so good. The idea here is a little bit of element in your water before you train. I guarantee you you'll feel better 30 minutes before, even 10 minutes before. The other day, when we were riding, I was like slugging an element as we were getting on the bike. |
| 1:27.7 | And I was like, hey, by the time I'm warmed up, ready to go. |
| 1:30.8 | Ready to go. |
