Nuun
I drink a lot of water. I mean, A LOT. Gatorade has way too much sugar. Soda is toxic (3 plus years and counting since I've had one). And I don't drink coffee (I've never tried it). That said, you can tell how difficult it is for me to find something I enjoy drinking besides plain old water.....
Enter Nuun electrolyte and vitamin tablets. These things are legit.
Their electrolyte enhanced tablets are formulated specifically for higher intensity activities and/or higher electrolyte replenishment needs. They helped me a ton this Summer when I was on the hot beach for 6/7 hour days playing volleyball. Just add one tablet to your water and it turns into a refreshing sports hydration drink without sugar.
Their vitamin enhanced drink tabs also contain no sugar. They are all natural. For you calorie counters out there, they only have 8 calories. Although, I've never counted a calorie. In the near future, I'm going to write an article on how unnecessary the whole counting calories mindset is. Sign up for my email list and you'll get the article once I publish it.

I drink a glass of water with a Nuun Orange Grapefruit vitamin tab in it with breakfast. It's a great substitute to orange juice (which has a ton of sugar).
Some flavors of the electrolyte enhanced tabs I've had are Tropical, Grape, and Lemon Lime. But they have many others to choose from.

Injinji Performance Toe Sock and New Balance Minimus 10v2 Trail Shoe Injinji
I LOVE their toe socks. Most comfortable sock I've ever worn. And it's not necessarily because of the material or quality (which is also good by the way). It's the design and fit of the socks. Our left foot is asymmetrical to our right, so why have we been wearing symmetrical socks all these years? It's because we haven't had a company that provides our feet with the highest-performance sock available. It's because we didn't know about Injinji. Those old tube socks feel terrible once you've experienced the graduated fit that Injinji provides.
I used to have major foot problems. And they radiated throughout my legs and into the rest of my body. It took me years to correct this, but a major expediting factor of that healing process has been wearing Injinji toe socks. They provide just the right amount of material between the toes. This is a constant reminder that tells us our toes aren't supposed to touch each other. They are a consistent, effortless push-start in the right direction of taking care of our feet.

New Balance
Specifically, the Minimus 10v2 Trail shoe (pictured w/ the Injinji sock). Combined with the Injinji toe sock, these shoes provide the most grounded, natural feeling sock/shoe combo I've ever worn. For me, it's not about cushion. It's all about what makes my feet feel natural. Like I'm walking around barefoot, even when I'm not. Even when I need the protection of a shoe.

Andy Gallego, co-owner of Crossfit Takeover CrossFit
CrossFit provides world-class instruction in a very dangerous sport. You could get incredible results in a very short time frame. You can learn to do beautiful movements with heavy weights that you never thought were possible. Or, you could get seriously hurt even faster. There's a ton of personal responsibility required. You can't just go in there and give 100% physically, with minimal mental focus, and not expect to get hurt. It takes a ton of mental focus and personal responsibility.
I wish I had an hour or two a night to read CrossFit's articles and watch YouTube videos so I could constantly improve my CF skills. However, I need that time to create a business that empowers people by teaching them how to heal their pain that's caused by sitting at a desk.
Keeping personal responsibility in mind, surround yourself with the best coaches possible at the same time. Thanks to the world class coaching team I train under, I don't miss out on not studying countless CF videos and articles. The coaching team at CrossFit Takeover (in Virginia Beach, VA) is laser-focused on their clients' form and functional movements.
Some of their coaches even travel out to California often to work for CrossFit HQ. They judge at the annual Reebok CrossFit Games where the best CrossFitters in the world compete. They also train future CF trainers to get certified.
CTO's high-quality training can't be denied and they make learning CrossFit super easy for me. This gives me that much more time and mental energy to improve my business and my beach volleyball game.
