Hydration Tips

9/2/2014

5 Comments

 
You should drink ½ to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight each day.  To determine your minimum hydration needs, divide your weight in pounds in half and drink that in ounces.  For example, a 120-pound person needs at least 60 ounces of water daily.  Staying hydrated increases performance.

To help obtain your hydration goals:
  • Drink a glass of water at every meal and snack.
  • Carry a water bottle with you all day and record how many times you fill it up.  This will help you to track your intake and allow you to adjust accordingly.
  • Prior to workouts drink at least 8 oz within an hour of the activity.
  • During workouts drink plenty of fluids at every opportunity.  This is especially important when exercising in high temperature and high humidity environments, which increase core temperatures faster.
  • After workouts, be sure to continue hydrating at an elevated rate.
  • Be sure to drink both water and an electrolyte enhanced sports drink during extreme workouts.
