Drink Water Before, During, and After Exercise

Description

Physical activity increases fluid loss through sweat, requiring specific hydration timing.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Pre-Hydrate: Drink about 16-20 ounces (approx. 2-2.5 cups) of water 2-3 hours before exercising.
2. Hydrate During: Sip water regularly during your workout (e.g., 7-10 ounces every 10-20 minutes), especially for sessions longer than 30 minutes or in hot conditions.
3. Rehydrate After: Drink water after exercising to replace fluids lost through sweat. Weighing yourself before and after exercise can give an idea of fluid loss (aim to replace slightly more than lost).
