Staying hydrated when working out is key, especially if you’re doing the kind of exercise that’ll make you sweat since sweating causes your body to lose water. Make sure that you get a refreshing dose of H2O during your gym session, by filling up this 550 m l water bottle, which has a straw nozzle. It’s decorated with plenty of glitter that’ll add a touch of sparkle to your workout.
