How much water should I be drinking?

 

It is something we all know we should do, yet a lot of us (myself included) are really bad at drinking enough water a day.

 

There are many reasons why you should make sure you get enough water however a relatively unknown reason is that a drop of 1.5% in water levels translates in drop of 10% your maximal strength.

 

It is vital to ensuring that you are getting the best workout you are capable of!

So how much should you have a day?

• 0.6-0.7 ounces per pound of bodyweight

or

• 39 ml per kg of bodyweight.

Example: If you weigh 55kg you should have approx 2.145 litres a day.

Don't forget that if you do an intense workout you should have additional water to replace the fluids you have lost.

 

 

Now get drinking!
