After an intense workout, the body loses more than just sweat: it also loses key electrolytes and essential minerals. With research showing that many performance drinks on the market today are jam-packed with simple sugars, most sports drinks won’t offer an actual “recovery” post-workout.
With record high temperatures this year and consumers refusing to go back to re-opened gyms post-COVID, how can we stay healthy and hydrated during scorching summer outdoor workouts?
The answer is DEFY, the first and only CBD-infused performance drink with 0% THC. Founded by NFL Hall of Famer and Super Bowl XXXII MVP Terrell Davis, DEFY is a first-of-its-kind beverage that uses patented technology to capture the benefits of CBD and pair it with essential vitamins and minerals designed to revitalize you even after the toughest workouts.
DEFY’s latest line of performance beverages are now available in 20-calorie, zero-sugar flavors. This way, consumers can get the healthiest option without compromising on flavor. Here’s a list of must-have post-workout essentials formulated to help DEFY your limits:
Orange Mango Zero boasts a delicious wave of tropical and tangy flavors that collide to propel peak performance, now with zero added sugar.
Mixed Berry Zero allows you to energize the mind and supercharge recovery with blended berry flavors and zero added sugar.
Lemonade Zero is packed with a thirst-quenching boost of electric citrus, now with zero added sugar.
CBD Muscle Balm was designed with a powerhouse combination of 800mg CBD, 10 percent menthol and five percent camphor to soothe stressed and tired muscles. Its no-mess, roll-on design makes this muscle balm the perfect workout bag accessory post-workout, post-game and beyond.

In case you missed it this weekend, Shaq and Gronk hosted a live streamed digital event on Saturday. What made this digital event extra special is that fans were able to have LIVE conversations with each other through Yappa, an audio and video commenting tool. During the event, Shaq and Gronk played a livestreamed game of HORSE. Fans were able to leave yaps about which shot they wanted Shaq and Gronk to take– and Shaq actually broke the rim! Snoop Dogg, Steve Aoki and Da Baby were among those to live yap during the event. You can see all of the activity on the event’s website by the Comments section.
Yappa was created as an antidote to the dangerously anonymous text-based commenting in social media. Because Yappa has a robust backend to flag profanity and hate speech, Yappa is quickly becoming the new, responsible and fun way for celebrities to communicate on websites such as IGN, iheartmedia, AMI and so much more!

Before the coronavirus pandemic, late June in D.C. meant only one thing for smoked meat fans: the Giant National Capital Barbecue Battle.
Not only was the two-day event on Pennsylvania Avenue a chance for backyard pitmasters to mingle with the experts; it was also a chance for the experts to compete for an automatic berth at the Jack Daniel’s World Championship Invitational in Lynchburg, Tennessee, in October.
Sadly, like many other annual events in D.C., the in-person event has been canceled due to the virus. It would have taken over a few blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue around 6th Street Northwest during the weekend of June 27 and 28. This year, though, it’s a virtual event that lasts all month.
While barbecue fans won’t be able to get a whiff of glazed ribs, smoked chicken or savory burnt ends, they will still be able to put their own creations up in a virtual competition judged by Myron Mixon, Tuffy Stone and Moe Cason, three champion pitmasters known for their cookbooks, restaurants and TV appearances.
Stone, who lives in Richmond, Virginia, where he runs a catering company, heads the Cool Smoke competition barbecue team that has won six major championships (including “The Jack”) and owns The Westover restaurant, laments the loss of one of his favorite events.
“D.C. is so energetic anyways, but when you fill that avenue with the smells and the smoke coming from that barbecue … it’s such a cool event,” Stone said. “It’s one of my favorite events of all, so to not be there this year, it seems really strange. I think we can all agree there’s a lot of strange things going on.”
