How much water should you drink while exercising?
While exercising your body releases H2O through sweat. To avoid dehydration it is very important to restore the H2O lost through sweat. The body cools down when its toasty by releasing H2O in the form of perspiration. Your body loses H2O multiple ways throughout the day. To stay hydrated during exercise it is essential to sip water before, during and after hitting the gym. To be exact it is imperative to drink 17 to 20 ounces of water 2 to 3 hours before exercising, drink 8 ounces of water 20 to 30 minutes before or during your warm up, drink 7 to 10 ounces of water every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise, and lastly it is essential to drink 8 ounces of water no more than 30 minutes after you exercise.
