Fitness- Chetek Style

Ah, January in Chetek: the snow sparkles (eventually), the lakes glisten with ice (perfect for fishing, not swimming, unless you're braver than we are), and the gyms are bustling with folks tackling their New Year's resolutions. Whether you're a "Start January 1st" go-getter or a "I'll start Monday" realist, WTHIC is here to cheer you on with some fitness tips… sprinkled with a dash of that Chetek charm.

1. Hydrate, Don't Diedrate 🚰

Rule number one: drink your water, folks! Whether you're on the treadmill, out shoveling snow, or just lifting a pint at at Joe's, hydration is key. In Chetek, Busch Light, 55, 64 & Ultra all count. Lucky for you, WTHIC has the perfect accessory: bottle koozies that remind you to hydrate in style. They’re available locally at Bridgestop & Off R Rockers because Chetek residents know the importance of something to keep your drink cold in summer and your hand warm in the winter.

2. Go Slow, Stay Steady 🏃‍♂️

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither was your sandbar body. If you’re just getting back into the groove, don’t expect to bench press a boat engine on Day 1. Start small, find your rhythm, and remember: even Elvis needed a few tries and some help to lift that pontoon.

3. Eat Right, Feel Bright 🥗

Chetek’s food scene has no shortage of temptations (looking at you, Gilligan's gourmet cheese curds). But balance is the name of the game. Eat a well-rounded diet, treat yourself occasionally, and consider adding a high-quality supplement to your routine. (Spoiler alert: WTHIC has you covered there too. Because nothing says "healthy" like supporting local!)

4. Gear Up for Greatness 👖

Feeling the part is half the battle. That’s why we’re big fans of our WTHIC leggings with pockets! Perfect for squats, walks, or carrying your snacks on a lakeside stroll. With their high-quality material and cross-waisted fit, they’re as practical as they are stylish. And yes, the pockets are perfect for stashing your phone, keys, or an emergency pocket beer.

Bonus Tip: Keep It Fun 🎤

Whether you’re power-walking across the frozen lakes (be careful out there!) or dancing your heart out at in (or on) one of the local bars, fitness should be fun.
