Staying Hydrated
To minimize the debilitating effects of dehydration during exercise, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends a series of steps. Staying hydrated during long bike rides, hikes and weight training workouts is crucial to higher peak performance and continued health. Below are some of their recommendations:
- Drink fluid early. Take in 16oz. of fluid 2 hours before you exercise.
- Drink fluid often. Take in about 5 to 8 oz. every 15 - 20 minutes; this gives your body a chance to absorb a constant flow of liquid.
- Keep water and any sports drinks (containing carbohydrates and electrolytes) within the 60 to 70 degree range for easier absorption.
- Drink after working out to compensate for the fluid your body losses during exercise.
TIPS & WARNINGS
- Try to drink liquids before you feel thirsty (at which point your body is about 2% dehydrated). For peak muscle performance and greater energy in your workouts, drink early and often.
- Drink enough liquid to replace the weight your body loses during a workout.
- As a general guideline, dink about 1 quart or liter per hour during warm-to-hot days.
