Water is essential for normal physiological function, and maintaining appropriate hydration is an important consideration during physical activity.

When you exercise, your body loses water through sweat and increased breathing. Replacing those fluids helps support hydration and normal physical performance.  The amount of water lost, varies considerably from person to person, and is influenced by factors such as the person’s sex, weight, how fit they are, the exercise intensity, duration, environmental conditions and their individual sweat rate.

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends appropriate fluid replacement before, during and after exercise, while recognising that hydration requirements vary between individuals. It’s guidance aims to help prevent excessive dehydration, and for people to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, during physical activity.

For many everyday activities, particularly for exercise, water is an appropriate choice for hydration. For longer or more demanding exercise, particularly in hot conditions or when substantial sweating occurs, fluid and electrolyte requirements may vary.

That's why we believe in having your water with you, while you exercise, just makes sense.

Your workout and your hydration don't have to be two separate things.

Weights2Go bottles aren't intended to replace a structured strength-training programme. Instead, they offer another way to introduce light resistance into everyday movement — whether you're walking, running or hiking — while keeping you hydrated at the same time.

Research has examined what happens when people walk while carrying additional weight.

Studies using hand-held weights have found that adding weight can increase physiological demands such as heart rate and oxygen consumption. One study found that walking with hand weights produced a small increase in energy expenditure compared with normal walking (As we all know, energy expenditure can help with weight loss, if that’s your goal).

Other research using weighted vests has similarly demonstrated that additional external load can increase metabolic demand during walking.

However, more weight is not necessarily better.

The amount of resistance matters, as does how the weight is carried, the individual's fitness level, walking speed, terrain, and, the duration of exercise.

Weights2Go Weighted Sports Bottles are designed around the concept of, light, portable resistance, rather than turning an everyday walk into a heavy-load workout.

The aim is simple:

Move. Hydrate. Add a little resistance. Keep going.

We believe - You don't need a gym to be active; nor do you need to go outdoors to exercise.

However, walking and other forms of outdoor physical activity can make exercise accessible, enjoyable and easier to incorporate into everyday life.

Research comparing physical activity in natural outdoor environments with indoor exercise has suggested potential benefits for aspects of mental and physical wellbeing, although the evidence is not strong enough to say that outdoor exercise is universally better than indoor exercise.

What we do know is that regular physical activity matters.

The World Health Organization recommends that adults undertake regular aerobic physical activity and include muscle-strengthening activities, two or more days each week.

Importantly, physical activity doesn't have to look the same for everyone.

A walk or run around your neighbourhood, a hike on a trail, an outdoor workout at the park, or, a longer weekend backpacking trip, can all be ways of getting moving.

As we’ve found personally, if you enjoy it, then there’s a greater chance that you’ll stick with it, and, exercise regularly. Then, it will become routine, and, a habit.

However, more weight isn't necessarily better — the amount of resistance, how it's carried, fitness level and terrain all matter. Weights2Go is designed around light, portable resistance, rather than turning a walk into a heavy-load workout.

This is where Weights2Go comes in.

We designed Weights2Go Weighted Sports Bottles to combine two things you normally have to carry separately:

Your water bottle.

Your weights.

With Weights2Go, the bottles are designed to provide hydration while their weighted components add light resistance.

It's not about replacing your gym workout.

It's not about carrying heavy weights for miles.

We’re certainly not promising a shortcut to fitness.

It's about making movement and hydration more convenient, more versatile, and, just easier.

Sometimes, the simplest way to become more active is to make being active easier, and of course, more enjoyable.

Hydrate.

Strengthen.

Go.
