Did you know that in just one hour of exercise, your body can lose up to 900ml of water? Yep, it’s true. And even a small amount of water loss can impact your ability to perform your workout at the highest level.
Don’t wait until you’re thirsty or gasping for breath during a session at the gym to start hydrating. The most important time to hydrate is actually in the 24 hours before your workout. Drink your water before, during and after any form of physical activity. The more you sweat, the more water your body needs to be replenished.
Water can even help you show off the muscle tone that you’ve worked so hard for. By lubricating your joints and muscles, it helps fight soreness and cramping.
